Women's March Florida Daily Action 3/22/17

#womensMARCHfl MARCH 22: #ReflectandResist

The feminist movement has a complex history. It is a powerful movement that has gained monumental victories, yet one cannot speak about feminism without acknowledging the dismal lack of representation for, and at times an active sidelining and silencing of the issues facing women of color, women with disabilities, and the LGBTQIA+ community.

The Women's March is committed to learning from this history in order to guide our collective work with an intentionally intersectional approach, which is why "Action 5" is titled "Reflect and Resist." The ways in which oppressive institutions are interconnected and perpetuate oppression cannot be examined separately from one another. When we examine issues of oppression in silos, people fall through the cracks and into the margins. We commit to focusing on those cracks and margins. In doing so, we strive to unfurl an umbrella under which individually powerful movements - racial justice, gender justice, disability justice, labor justice, and more - can unite, with a collective emphasis on the people and communities that are so often left behind or treated as an afterthought. We ask you to commit to this as well.
