"When women rise, the people advance"

In the first week of Donald Trump’s presidency, there were two important mobilizations that expressed radically different views on reproductive rights. The Women’s March on Washington, which took place the day after Trump’s inauguration, has been hailed as one of the largest mobilizations in US history. What began as a spontaneous call quickly ballooned into a movement that tapped into growing anxieties over the intentions of the new administration. The march drew some 500,000 to rally in Washington DC while sister marches were held across the country and even worldwide. One week later, another mobilization took place: the annual March for Life. While significantly smaller, this march still drew many attendees who were energized by celebrity speakers from the Trump administration.

At this point, there is no certainty that the Women’s March will evolve into an actual social movement. This much is clear: the Women’s March represents a political opening to rebuild a revolutionary feminist movement (in conjunction with other developing struggles) that advances demands to improve the lives of working people and embraces conflict with the liberal, capitalist character of the feminist movement of the day.

“Dün yaşadığım ülkede tanklarla toplarla bombalanıp yakılan yıkılan kentler, öldürülen yüzlerce insan, yaralanan ve evsiz kalan binlerce yaşlı, genç, çocuk, kadın ve erkek için göz yaşları dinmemiş, öfke yatışmamışken; tüm bunların failleri kahramanlar olarak gösterilip madalya verildiği görüntüler hafızamızda canlıyken; kentleri yakıp yıkan, insanları öldüren tank ve uçaklar 15 Temmuz’da Ankara ve İstanbul’u hedef aldığında, dünün kahraman failleri bir gecede hain ilan edildi. Binlerce insan hapishanelere dolduruldu, on binlercesinin görevlerine son verildi.
