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.

    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.
