Take Action!
Women are not bitches, ho's, punching bags, sex objects, or breeders, women ARE FULL HUMAN BEINGS.
STOP the Patriarchal Degradation, Dehumanization, and Subjugation of All Women Everywhere, and All Oppression Based on Gender or Sexual Orientation!
Join with Stop Patriarchy this summer to take this message everywhere—deep into the communities of the oppressed, out to concerts and festivals, and right up in the face of the biggest women-haters. Through everything, we will get out tens of thousands of copies of the Stop Patriarchy Call to Action. Through street theater, defiant “social interventions” (taking banners and stickers boldly out to crowds wherever they gather), and “pop-up protests” at porn stores, fascist churches, and such, join in making it known far and wide: The days are over when we are just going to sit back and take all this patriarchal shit!
Roll with Stop Patriarchy this summer. Start a chapter where you are. There are a myriad of ways to fight, and you are NEEDED.
Weekly Action Schedule
WEEKEND OF JUNE 13-14:
Spread this message and call on others to take a stand! "Women are not bitches, hos, punching bags, sex objects, or breeders. Women are FULL HUMAN BEINGS!"

#RaiseHellJ1
On July 1st, as abortion clinics are forced to close in Texas and Tennessee and when new unprecedented new abortion restrictions go into effect in Kansas... Join in defiant protest.
We will stand, side by side, carrying the faces of women who died from lack of safe, legal abortion. We will read their stories. We will wear faux bloody pants, representing the women who lost their lives, and those who will die, as a result of the escalating assault on this basic right. We will RAISE HELL and demand that women be treated as full human beings!
