Do not obey in advance. Believe in truth. Be as courageous as you can.

The women of California stand in solidarity with the women of Scotland. To abandon facts is to abandon freedom. If nothing is true, then no one can criticize power, b/c there is no basis upon which to do so. We’ve been reported to the police for a hate crime b/c we held a “protect female sports” banner. So far the 1st amendment still applies, but it feels tenuous.

“They lay on the floor of your cell so they can watch you while you shower. They demand you cook, clean, have sex with them or face consequences.” -Anonymous incarcerated woman in CA A male inmate, Tremaine Carroll, stands trial for allegedly raping 2 female inmates while housed in a women’s prison. According to the DA, the prison has failed to transport Carroll to court FIVE times. The trial delayed again & again. On March 6 the warden has been ordered to appear in court to explain why. We need the press to cover this. Last week, in a desperate attempt to force attention on what’s happening, we sent billboard trucks across California: LA, SF, Sac, Fresno. We had teams hundreds of miles apart taking photos & raising bloody hell. We got coverage from California Post Daniel Monaghan The Post Millennial 🙏 🙏 🙏 The women inside the prison told us the press coverage & trucks gave them hope. So we used the last of our budget to send a truck to the prison itself. Two formerly incarcerated women followed it, laying on the horn until their car broke down. This is where women are at here in the beautiful state of California. Women beeping our horns, running our cars into the ground, screaming for these rapes to stop.

Senator Wiener: CHICKEN on women’s safety 🐓 BOLD on men in women’s prisons (In this clip he implies our protest is an “assault” on LGBTQ people. I’d love for him to explain how standing up for incarcerated women is assaulting lesbians or gay men.)

“Once hate speech is recognized in law, government decides what counts as hate. And that definition shifts with whoever holds power. These laws are easily turned against dissenting voices, including women who speak plainly about sex.” Kara Dansky testifies against AB 1803, a CA Legislative Jewish Caucus priority bill authored by Assemblymember Josh Lowenthal. When justifying the need for this bill, Asm. Lowenthal talks about the very real problem of antisemitism. But suppressing or chilling people’s speech will not change anyone’s mind. People will not become less antisemitic because the government forces their mouths closed. We have data that tells us this. In fact, it can radicalize people more. In 1977, neo-Nazis announced they would march through Skokie, Illinois, a town home to thousands of Holocaust survivors. The town tried to stop them. The ACLU took the Nazis’ case. The lawyer who argued it was a Jewish man named David Goldberger. That is the America I believe in. The America that allows even the worst ideas to be spoken aloud, because the answer to bad speech is more speech, never less. The America that understands the difference between liberty and state control. The America that refuses to hand government the power to decide which views may be spoken and which must be punished. Both my grandfathers crossed an ocean to fight fascism. They came home to a country deeply imperfect, but committed at its core to freedom. They did not storm beaches and bleed in foreign fields so that, three generations later, their grandchildren would sit silent while the state chipped away at our rights. AB 1803 now heads to the CA Senate Judiciary Committee, and Women Are Real will be there to fight it every step of the way. The First Amendment does not defend itself. It survives only because, in every generation, people refuse to nod along.
