hey so we’re actually not doing enough at all, and I’m speaking specifically to colorado. I’m disappointed, I think you guys know we could be doing more and doing better but for some strange reason, we just aren’t doing anything. like she said, not to yuck your yum, do whatever you want but a no kings parade shouldnt help you sleep at night.

Womxn’s March Denver is aware of the Women’s March National marches being scheduled across the country for October 8, 2022. Out of an abundance of caution and care for our community, the Womxn’s March Denver Board of Directors has voted to reschedule the September 24 Denver March to Saturday, October 8, 2022. As organizers of the march in Denver, we will cooperate with city officials and community leaders to adequately plan for and center the safety of marchers and speakers in attendance.

We'll see you at the Denver Civic Center Park at 9am on Oct 8th!

In this movement, we are fighting against the US’s desperate attempt to maintain its military hegemony in Asia; the people of Korea will be freed. We have the following demands:

US Out of Korea: the full and permanent withdrawal of US troops and weapons systems from Korea; and the return of all Korean land, water, and airspace appropriated for the US military to the Korean people.

End the US-South Korea alliance: an end to all US-South Korea alliances, including the JAKUS trilateral security cooperation; as well as all US-South Korea joint command structures—the Combined Forces Command, and the UN Command.

End of all aggression against North Korea: an end to all US military exercises in Korea; and the lifting of all sanctions against North Korea

End of the war economy: divert US government spending from war, prisons, and policing; and into housing, education, healthcare, and climate justice for working people.

Join us this Saturday at 11am!

If you call yourself any kind of leftist, activist, patriot, comrade, or fighter for freedom, liberty, or justice, you should be fucking livid about this. Good folks lawfully CCW'ing during actions of their own accord (and in exercise of their civil rights) was one of the only ways protesters theoretically had protection against regional neo-nazis trying their own little Kristallnacht. Neo-nazis have performed armed hunts in Denver before.

This "law" disenfranchises the folks who need to protect themselves the most. LGBTQ folks, minorities, etc. The rich will always be able to protect themselves. These assholes at city hall just made it impossible to walk through a fucking park if you want to be capable of defending yourself in a city that ranks fucking 17th in having the most parks per capita.

And they did this to score cheap points in an election year, without any real debate or public comment.

Where are you for this, PSL? You know what daddi Marx says about this pretext. Or do y'all just show up for liberal causes?

One more thought: You know who's celebrating this ruling? Neo-nazis and liberals.

Think on that as you fall asleep tonight.

A woman was shot and executed point blank in front of her wife. ICE is kidnapping, raping and murdering people (mostly non-white people). They do not care if you wear a big, ridiculous, inflatable costume. You aren't "trolling" them or mocking them in a way that actually matters. They have a monopoly on violence; they can just kill you or your neighbors and what are you gonna do about it then?

I find people treating these protests like parades and festivals to be disgusting honestly and those stupid costumes just exemplify that. Y'all are not taking this seriously because you have not been directly impacted, nor do you really care about the people are being targeted. Since 2020, it's been pretty clear that protesting on the whole has become mostly meaningless in its current form. A bunch of people slowly parading around or even just standing there, dispersing when the police tell them to, starting dance parties for god's sake. You say "don't give them what they want" as a response to those who are rightfully calling for riots, but do you really think you're not doing exactly what they want? Do you really think those in power aren't laughing their asses off at how docile, weak and unserious supposedly "radical" people have become?

We need to be organizing real strikes. Our protests need to be shutting down the highways, the train yards, the nodes of commerce. We need to be growing food and building community defense networks. People need to learn how to put down the phone and de-arrest people getting taken instead.

Take off the costume. It's not a party, it's not a parade, you're not trolling anybody. Stop fooling yourself and get serious about things.

Protect Trans Health, a collaborative effort between the National Center for Transgender Equality, the Transgender Law Center, the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund, and other partners are raising awareness on a proposed rule by Department of Health and Human Services (federal agency). Protect Trans Health gives you a quick look at what a "proposed rule," "public comment," and the significance of you publicly commenting entails:

What Are Regulations?

Regulations don’t change the law, but they are meant to help people understand the law and follow it. Regulations (sometimes called “rules”) explain how the government interprets the law. Without clear and accurate regulations, businesses or officials may misunderstand the law or simply refuse to follow it.

What's A Public Comment?

In order to adopt or change a regulation, the government is required by a federal law to first get feedback from the public on what they think about the proposed change, by asking people to submit public comments.

Do Comments Work? Will I Be Heard?

The federal government must summarize and consider public comments before implementing a new rule. A large number of comments forces the government to study the issue closely and explain itself—and it’s the best way to show widespread public support. This can lead to a proposed regulation being adopted or even strengthened.

Submitting comments is a way to make your voice heard directly by the people writing regulations that could have a big impact on trans people’s lives. Tell the Biden-Harris Administration to Protect Trans Health!

Feel free to sift through comments already submitted on the proposed rule.

Protect Trans Health also offers you a form to fill out to have your comment submitted to the appropriate agencies for consideration.

If you are not comfortable filling out the online form, I think you can follow the directions provided on the Federal Register website that discusses the proposed regulation. From the Federal Register page:

You may submit electronic comments at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for the Docket ID number HHS-OS-2022-0012. Follow the instructions for submitting electronic comments. If you are submitting comments electronically, the Department strongly encourages you to submit any comments or attachments in Microsoft Word format.

. . . .

You may mail written comments to the following address only: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights, Attention: 1557 NPRM (RIN 0945-AA17), Hubert H. Humphrey Building, Room 509F, 200 Independence Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20201.

Love my homies on the top but damn it's wacky
Pls don't turn these comments into a fight zone

I've had enough with these hot heads who cause a dangerous situation for everyone. Enough with people centering themselves because they want to be seen as the badass of the day.

You are going to get more people hurt.

Peaceful demonstrations need to stay peaceful. This rash of 20-somethings going rogue with the goal of confrontation and escalation, putting their individual agendas above the good of the others around AND the movement is exactly why no one I know IRL is coming to these things anymore.

We need to be building momentum, but there are too many people wanting to push their edgelord divisive chants or physical mayhem agenda despite the fact that it costs us valuable support and feet on the ground.

Hey I'm just wondering if there are plans to protest denver pride this you or do some sort of pride protests? Having no interest in the party aspect of pride. Its watered it down and made pride just a marketing thing. Pride is and always should be a protest

This 3 day protest is this weekend (details on last slide)!!

I am all for the organization of protests and even to a point “escalated” protests.

But...

I just want to make sure people that are organizing are not bad actors ie: Disinformation agents from RUS or some other country. They did it before in ‘16 where they created events focused on issues with strong points of division, organized “protests” and “counter protests” at the same place and time.

I just hope that people remember that Russia’s strategy is to use ideological divisions to further divide and also destabilize our country in a way that has no benefit for any Americans in the aftermath.

While we stay focused on doing things that help cause the change that this country desperately needs, let us also keep an eye out for those who want to use this time to cause chaos just for the sake of chaos

Ps Fuck Russia

Edit: typo correction

If we follow this simple guideline everywhere, it will snip the nards right off of those trying to escalate.

See you kids on Saturday! 🫡

Based on Reddit, who is actually down for some direct action? Our comrades in Portland, Seattle, etc. need some solidarity.... is anyone actually down to make a change?
