Bad Cat Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I'm certainly considering it. Have been watching it come together on Twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meepy Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Fabulous idea. We must maintain the rage. It has to stop now. Being from one of the areas hit hardest by COVID and being immunocompromised I am a bit worried about attending though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being from one of the areas hit hardest by COVID and being immunocompromised I am a bit worried about attending though.Organisers are trying to find ways for people to join the protest in other ways, if they can't attend for whatever reasons - whether livestreaming, or other gestures that people can do from home.

Bad Cat Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 There have also been calls for a nationwide women's strike day. I think that would be brilliant but I wonder how many women would actually do it? If everyone did it it would be powerful. If only a handful did it and ending up losing their jobs over it, it would be a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppelina Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I am practically incandescent with rage after his bullshit statement today. I will be attending the Melbourne march, although I'm thinking this may be worth a trip up to Canberra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landry Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 #methreeLots of talk and very little action from a lot of social media warriors.. what could be any womans excuse for not getting involved in this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alias Grace Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 ^^ Huh? I am one that is planning to attend the Melbourne rally but I didn't realise that I had to "engage with" this thread. I don't believe that the Melbourne rally details have even been finalised at this point. And I am not a fan of judging those who may not be able to or choose not to attend the rallies for whatever reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Bicycle Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I am disheartened by the lack of engagement with this thread. I can probably speak for Victorians about why we aren't jumping up and down to protest.We are just 2 weeks out of a lockdown.We still have Covid traces in our wastewater.There's a 100 person limit on outdoor gatherings.We are just so worn down by Covid, we are just trying to take it day by day to keep schools and businesses open.We were damn lucky with the BLM protests that we didn't get a massive outbreak. Most of the people on the Vic thread then were saying, stay home, stop the spread. This week NZ has a possible case to two mothers going for a walk in level 3 lockdown, passing Covid between them. From a walk.It's not that we don't care, but does it have to be a physical protest? Do a petition, make people take photots of themselves holding a candle or something.I understand it's different in other states where you haven't been restricted as such, but us Victorians as worn down.

zeldazonk Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I am intending to attend the march but honestly I haven't engaged very much with the online dialogue this week (on this thread or otherwise) because it has all been really overwhelming and triggering for me. I am sure I am not the only woman feeling this way this week. A lot of repressed stuff has resurfaced and it is taking a lot to work through it and just get through each day.

Ozgirl Posted March 4, 2021 Author Share Posted March 4, 2021 There is still a lot that the organisers are figuring out. But social media will be a big part of this protest so you can still join in if you dont feel comfortable protesting in public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be attending the Melbourne march, although I'm thinking this may be worth a trip up to Canberra. I can't find details on the Melbourne march- can you point me in the right direction please? I’m wondering if there’s going to be a crossover with the Labour Day women’s March on Monday. I’m in two minds; I really want to go, but Covid. March for justice is on the 15th, noon. Melbourne is in the permit stage so not sure what the details will be yet. All the women’s lawyer groups are mobilising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MintyBiscuit Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Sydney location isn’t confirmed yet but I’ll be heading along if it’s feasible. I can’t actually put into words the white hot anger I’ve been experiencing in these last few weeks. I’m fortunate to have never experience sexual violence, I cannot imagine how those who have must be feeling right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antifa Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Having it on a Monday simply means that neither myself nor DD will be able to get into the city to attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
