#PurpleRoseDay is a collective action across @af3irm chapters.
Every year we have and will continue to bring awareness to the experiences of our sisters. Til all are liberated and free.
Consent.
We acknowledge that consent and the use of it is VALUEABLE but it’s context and use are IMPORTANT to clarify and define.
April is #sexualassaultawareness month and we at @af3irmseattle have been stewing on this for a while and have never felt that there was enough 1/2
that consent was just the beginning on the topic of joy, autonomy, partnerships, and community.
“If consent is just the beginning, then it’s our job to envision what comes after.” @af3irm 2/2

“We must always remember (until relatively recently)that women have had no (written) history and therefore must make and document one; for themselves, for the coming generations, for humanity" AF3IRM's Ninotchka Rosca on women’s history #WomensHistoryMonth#TransnationalFeminism
There are marginalized people who will be most affected by the Russia-Ukraine struggle.
Reminder to center the most marginalized even if you’re in the US and the conflict is abroad.
Hell yeah. This is common ground for all sides of the sex trade debate. Everyone can agree that people who want to stop prostituting should be able to do so immediately. Scarcity and dependence are a lie. This industry does not define our possibilities. There can be alternatives!
Purple roses in various shades of defiance flood social media on February 14, the bedrock of AF3IRM��s organizing history. The Purple Rose is artificially bred for profit, not unlike the women and children who are trafficked into the commercial sex trade. #purplerosecampaign
“Harm reduction did not attack the racist, homophobic, and patriarchal roots of the HIV+ crisis, drug war, and prostitution. Harm reduction has its place in history, but we need to be careful that we are not refusing to end the harm.”

I’m not sure how to process the Rittenhouse full acquittal other than thinking random proud boys now have the full green light to show up and shoot people at blm protests and just say they felt “threatened”
Rittenhouse is a product of militarized patriarchy where white boys are raised under toxic racist, imperialist standards- he was essentially given a passport to kill.
He killed. He felt entitled to. How many Rittenhouses are being raised by Amerikkka? #RittenhouseGuiltyAF
@CNN@CNNOriginals@lisaling@ARudnickHLN End the glamorizing of prostitution, which is an exploitative $99 billion industry that profiteers on the coercion and commodification of women. We demand a correction and equal time. #WorldsOldestOPPRESSION https://t.co/Vu4A5GGyj3
