Women Occupy Call
FOR WHO: People who are interested in organizing from a feminist/anti-oppressive perspective – particularly but not exclusively people who are female-assigned and/or female-identifying. People who are committed to supporting the leadership of women, female-assigned, and LGBTQ organizers and to confronting patriarchy, heterosexism, and transphobia within and as a movement.
PURPOSE: This is an inter-occupation call to connect women, female-assigned and feminist organizers from across the movement in order to identify what our needs are and how we can work together.

If you want to be inclusive (not exclusively female assigned and/or female-identifying), is it possible to choose a name that better reflects that?

The trials of women are a huge problem in our world, violence, gay rights poverty, but I believe these injustices ion the occupy movement should be part of the UN declaration of Human Rights championed by Eleanor Roosevelt. At our Boston Rally against War against Iran, the women’s movement felt it was important to state their focus on gay rights rather than the greater focus on the larger issues of poverty, lack birth control and hunger. Gays have their rights, but they must begin to focus on the rights of all women and OWSTreet must think globally. Chickendelight
