I'm already hearing about protests and actions being planned in my area, and some talk about how this summer's reaction to it could be similar to or bigger than 2020. Personally I don't know. The 2020 uprisings were global because white supremacy and police brutality are global, but I feel like the US is so particularly backwards regarding abortion that you'd have a hard time getting protests going in other countries where the right to choose is more well-protected.

    I disagree, comrade. some of the best local organizers I know were radicalized by what they saw during the rebellion and there are entire orgs here that didn't exist before the rebellion. like, it's not all rosy - wreckers definitely strained relationships in the months since - but I've also seen capacity from this city I know for a fact it could not have produced prior to months of sustained action. there's no substitute for direct experience.
