Wanna hear something upsetting?

In Italy, women are victim of violence and rape every 72 hours.

Yet, in Verona on 30-31 of March, a group of right politicians held an assembly to deny abortion, pre-marital sex, lgbt rights and the existence of "feminicides", also known as female murders.

Luckily Italian feminist organisations organized a counter-protest against them. I'm so glad that there are still people that care and take action for our rights. You go, pals! 💪

Andrea Hektor reports on a confrontation with an anti-choice bigot pretending to be a escort at a New York clinic and the lessons it hold for the pro-choice movement.

“This isn't the first time a fake escort and his friends have distracted women in front of the Margaret Sanger clinic. According to a woman who lives in the neighborhood and who joined the pro-choice demonstrators, this situation occurs on a regular basis, and has for more than 15 years.”

Reflections on a Counter-Protest

On Wednesday this week in Canada, protests were planned on behalf of parents and others who object to students in public schools being given instruction and counselling related to sexual orientation and gender identity. In response, the LGBTQ+ community and allies responded with a counter-protest. I participated in the latter group’s efforts in my city. As I walked to the meetup location with a…

Nazi parade met with circus clown music This past weekend, a group of neo-Nazis in Gera, Germany decided to take to the streets for a parade in support of Putin's invasion of Ukraine. Little did they know, the locals had other plans. Instead of responding with anger or violence, they organized a counter-protest that included playing humiliating circus music — a creative and humorous response that effectively undermined the neo-Nazis' message. — Read the rest https://boingboing.net/2023/02/21/nazi-parade-met-with-circus-clown-music.html

“A slow-rolling convoy of protesters against public health mandates wound its way through Kingston on Saturday, Feb. 12, 2022, but was thwarted from passing by its intended destination, Kingston City Hall, by a group of counter-protesters.

The convoy of about 60 to 75 passenger vehicles gathered at the car park on Highway 38 shortly before 1 p.m., and began its circuitous route through Kingston, down Gardiners Road, Bath Road, Portsmouth Avenue, King Street, and Sir John A Macdonald Boulevard, before getting onto Princess Street and making its way towards the downtown area. Small groups of counter-protesters temporarily blocked the convoy’s path at various points along the route.

Meanwhile, in front of City Hall on Ontario Street, two large groups of about equal size gathered on separate sides of the street – on the west side of the road, mostly supporters of the convoy, and on the east side, mostly counter-protesters. A few dozen police officers from Kingston Police, as well as assisting officers from Brockville Police, Smiths Falls Police, and Belleville Police Services were on scene to maintain the peace.

As the slow-rolling convoy approached City Hall, counter-protesters began to block the roadway, moving wooden barricades onto the street to stop vehicles from crossing. Initially, police officers removed the barricades but, shortly thereafter, opted to re-erect the barricades on the roadway to keep the counter-protesters and vehicle convoy separate. After a stand-off of a few minutes, the lead convoy vehicle reversed and, giving a prolonged honk, rerouted the convoy onto Brock Street.

The convoy circled around Brock Street, Market Street, Princess Street and Ontario Street a few times before dispersing. Ontario Street was reopened to traffic by about 3:30 p.m.”

There was a small but vocal anti-mask protest at my old middle school. A parent walking his daughter to school, who happens to be a doctor of public health and who is Black was told by the protesters that masks are a form of slavery when he tried to engage with them on the importance of masks. They remained and it should be said a lot of other parents and people going past told them to piss off, in essence.

But then. Then a couple kids from the high school arrived to counter-protest and I am SO EXCITED to share this with you

[this is from a thread on journalist Sam Braslow’s Twitter]

They came to protest working conditions at the Krusty Krab, one of them wearing a homemade Squidward mask chanting slogans like

“Krusty Krab is unfair / Mr. Krabs is in there / [selling his(?)] concessions / plotting our oppressions”

Anyways, just.. these kids 🥲
