International Women’s Day is a holiday celebrated annually on March 8 as a focal point in the women’s rights movement. IWD gives focus to issues such as gender equality, reproductive rights, and violence and abuse against women.
I celebrate the great women in my life who do things to make life better for everyone. I also support equality, reproductive rights, and keeping women safe against violence of all kinds.
People who are citizens of the LGBTQ community in both the USA and Canada are experiencing discrimination and hate. All they want to do is live their lives and it seems there are some that can’t stand that. I am standing with those who want to love, live, and laugh without fear of reprisal or those who seek to take from them what they enjoy themselves. There is no space for hate and equality hurts no one.
To conservatives, leave people alone. I dig your desire for fiscal responsibility and that sort of thing. However, your social issues side sucks. You don’t have the right to ruin their lives.
The state controlling a woman would mean denying her full autonomy and full equality.

This is what I want America to be. While we are at it throw in health care for all and science is valued. America doesn’t have to be great if it can be better than it is now. Wouldn’t it be nice, just saying.
I thought this was cool. The intersection of Black Lives Matter and Pride Month coming together to honor Black LGBTQ people and the greater fight for justice and equality. Social justice in action to seek inclusion.
I believe that there will ultimately be a clash between the oppressed and those that do the oppressing. I believe that there will be a clash between those who want freedom, justice and equality for everyone and those who want to continue the systems of exploitation.
