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.

    We all have to go to Alabama and Mississippi en masse and wreck havok. This shit about doing protests in Portland or NYC is fucking useless. People have to go to the places where poor women will be hit the hardest.

      Solid point. At the end of the day, oppression can only be confronted where it is taking place. There is a lot that can be done in a supporting role, but getting Eric Adams to stamp some permits for a march from Union Square to Battery Park isn't going to cut it.
