Revolution Books Chicago

Sat. Nov 17, 2012- 2pm - Join Us in Wicker Park Hookup at Revolution Books Take It to the Streets! Stop the War on Women!   Wherever women's identities, bodies, and rights are under attack, CALL IT OUT November 17!       Abortion on Demand and Without Apology End Pornography & Patriarchy: The Enslavement and Degradation of Women Across the country and in different ways, join with others to stand up and speak out.    We will not accept a world where women are routinely raped, brutalized, humiliated and degraded. We will not lie down as women's right to abortion and even birth control is being stripped away. We will resist the culture of rape and pornography that equates sex with domination and conquest and tr eats women as mere objects to be plundered by men. We will RESIST and we will take a big step towards DEFEATING this war on women. And, through doing so, we will become the people and the seeds of a whole better future.   A future where no woman ever again knows what it is to fear for her safety at the hands of men. Where women never again know what it is to give themselves to a man sexually for any reason other than their own desire-free of pressure, judgment, or degradation. A world where men view women as full human beings and full partners. A world where lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgendered people have not only the full rights-but the full respect-as everyone else. And a culture filled with poetry and music and other forms of art that foster deep respect towards women.   Wherever you are and whatever you do on November 17-be it a march or street  theater, a protest at a strip club or an anti-abortion church, a speak-out or poetry reading, or some sort of public "social intervention" where a lot of folks gather-you will be joined by others around the country. Every act will be a mplified, more people will be woken up and inspired, and this movement-and the possibility of real liberation-will grow!   Just Added  Monday Nov 19, 7 pm Come to film screening & discussion  at Revolution Books Chicago   The Price of Pleasure:  Pornography, Sexuality & Relationships  a inside look at the pornography industry    Contact us today with your plans or your questions: StopPatriarchy@gmail.com STOPPATRIARCHY.ORG       STOPPATRIARCHY.TUMBLR.COM For Chicago- contact Revolution Books at revbookschi@yahoo.com or call 773-489-0930
