MOTHER’S DAY STRIKE 2022
if you live in the usa and you would be affected by the decision to overturn roe v. wade (so pretty much EVERYONE in this country), please read:
the decision to overturn roe v. wade (while not official as of 5/3) not only will eliminate access to safe abortion in several states, but will begin the process of dismantling several other forms of progress for the rights of the american people (unrestricted access to contraception, marriage equality, etc.). that’s right; roe v. wade is only the tip of the iceberg.
if this infuriates, terrifies, sickens you- as it should, regardless of whether you have a uterus or not- and you want to make a real difference, then join the mother’s day strike of 2022.
from the mother’s day strike website:
“Marching does nothing. Writing angry letters to the editor does nothing. Attempting to reason with legislators who does nothing.
What always works, every time, is hitting them in the bank.
Beginning On Sunday May the 8th, 2022, everyone who will suffer immensely and possibly die under the right-wing extremists repeal of Roe V Wade will simply…stop. Stop shopping. Don’t go to work. Don’t interact with the economy in any way. Keep all transactions to zero.”
imagine the massive impact of everyone affected in this country ceasing their participation in the economy, all in unison. how fast do you think it would take for the decision to be repealed? days? hours?
“The mission is simple: Break the economy over the course of one week by abstaining from work, shopping, entertaining; and on the home front, running a household that would fall apart without your care.”
it’s time to make our voices heard, and this time, they sure as hell will be listening. join the strike.
