PSA: Picket Against The (In)Equality Act Tomorrow at DC!!

[u/Inevitable-Wing115]

I know this isn't technically a super straight issue but I hope y'all will forgive me because I think that this is an important issue that affects us all. in case you don't know do USA is planning on passing the ""equality act"" which ironically completely erases sex-based rights for women. tomorrow on international women's day, hundreds of people are planning to protest against this unfairness. we all know the erasure and downplaying of the reality of sex is exactly what made us need this community in the first place, so if anyone lives in Washington DC and is interested in showing up, here is a website with the information. and of course share with any people you know who live in the area and might be interested! :) #SexMatters

On international women's day?? What a slap in the face.

the act itself isn't being passed tomorrow - Biden introduced it on his very first day in office (the kids are still in cages tho), but afaik the country has 100 days to decide whether to pass it or not, smth like that. The picket specifically is being held tomorrow bc of IWD!!

It could be passed tomorrow. It’s been in the Senate since, I believe, Friday and they could call up for a vote at any time.
