Slide 1
A digital art piece showing a diverse group of queer youth is overlayed with text reading, “March for Queer & Trans Youth Autonomy, March 31 2023, All 50 States, Uniting as One.”
Slide 2
The background is a rainbow gradient with a digital art piece showing three queer youth. The text reads, “It’s time we create one of the largest queer youth marches in history! Uniting every queer and trans young person under the common goals of safety, autonomy, joy.”
Slide 3
A rainbow gradient with a small digital art piece in the corner of three queer youth. The text reads, “The queer & trans community has been upended by a series of devastating laws, detrimental legislation, and queerphobic attacks designed to make the lives of queer & trans youth as unbearable as possible. Each and every queer & trans youth serving org has responded in their own ways, prompting walkouts, protests, legislative challenges, organizational statements, and other rebuttals in an attempt to swing the momentum. Now it’s time to unite our communities powerful work and collectively advocate for youth as one!”
Slide 4
A rainbow gradient overlayed with text reading, “This march will center the voices of queer and trans youth.” This is followed by a bulleted list saying the following, “Marches will be held at capitol buildings & in major cities in all 50 states. Queer & trans youth will share their stories, experiences, and demands to the masses. Everyone from adults to allies to politicians will march in solidarity. State & national orgs will organize these marches, while students will organize walkouts at their schools.”
Slide 5
A rainbow gradient overlayed with text reading, “Queer and trans youth will receive the spotlight to advocate for their safety, their joy, and their autonomy. The tidal wave that these marches will create, combined with the political & media spotlight on queer & trans youth, will drown the conservative narratives that have dominated the fight until now. In their place, queer & trans youth voices, stories, interviews, testimony, films, books, will all rise to show the lives and share the stories of queer & trans youth. We will be front and center.”
Slide 6
An image of students from @cpagsa during QYA’s National Queer Youth Walkout is overlayed with text and a list of checkboxes reading, “Youth! If you are an activist, are in your school’s GSA and/or have been impacted anti queer & trans youth speech, legislation, or laws then we invite you to join our queer & trans youth led march planning committees! Visit queeryouthassemble.org for more information.”
Slide 7

El Camino Real Charter High School students protested growing antisemitism on their campus in a walkout on Tuesday.
The walkout at the Woodland Hills school followed an alleged incident against 15-year-old Jewish student Danielle Eshed. According to Eshed, a student screamed antisemitic comments before attacking her a little over a week ago.

"I was really shocked because he said he would beat me up, but I didn't think that he was telling the truth until he got up and started to punch me," she said. "I was just sitting there in silence because I was shocked at what was happening because that never really happened to me. I was like in shock at what was going on. I couldn't process."
Eshed’s father joined the protest, claiming that the school had dismissed their claims and would not elaborate on how the student was punished.
"The school thinks that he has more rights than my daughter for protection," Eshed said. "He has rights to be educated, but my daughter [doesn’t] have the rights for her safety."

CHICAGO (AP) — More than 200 reporters, photographers and other staffers with the Chicago Tribune and six other newsrooms around the nation began a 24-hour strike Thursday to protest years of “slow-walked” contract negotiations and to demand fair wages.
The strike, which includes 76 members of the Chicago Tribune reporting staff, photographers and some editors, began at 5 a.m., said Caroline Kubzansky, a member of the Chicago Tribune Guild who is a general assignment reporter for the newspaper.
It is the latest recent strike in the U.S. news industry. The striking workers are employees of Alden Global Capital, a New York hedge fund that has been buying up newspapers across the country and facing criticism for slashing budgets and cutting jobs.
The NewsGuild-CWA, which represents the employees, said the workers participating in the 24-hour strike are demanding fair wages and that management not eliminate their 401(k) match benefits. It said the staffers “have been fighting for a contract through their unions for as long as five years.”

I am immediately concerned for my fellow disabled people who depend on medications to survive or just get through the day. However, I've also seen how pharmacy services have continued to decline, and this is why. Companies trying to squeeze profit are the ones harming the workers and customers. I hope something good comes out of this with the least disruption to people who need their medication.

Personally, I can't afford to do this. I'm sharing this not to pressure people into walking out but to let them know it's going on and decide for themselves if they want to walk out on July 13.
If you can't there are other ways to protest, such as attending protests, posting on social media, or donating to pro abortion organizations. As Bans off Our Body points out, you could lose your job over this. Consider very carefully what you want to do. But more power to all those who can engage in the Walkout.

Are you a student? Join the NATIONAL STUDENT WALKOUT this Wednesday, October 25th!
Via: @ilps.socal on Instagram:
Join the call for a national walkout WEDNESDAY 10/25, where students nationwide will demand an end to the US-backed siege on Gaza and U.S. military funding and arms to Israel. ❌
Our institutions are investing in the genocidal siege of Palestine. Their money, words, and programs make Israel’s occupation and violence possible.
They try to silence us, because they need us to be afraid, confused, and divided. But we, as a united movement for Palestinian liberation, choose to dissent. We have the power and the duty to force our institutions to end support for Israeli occupation.

Trans activists have organized demonstrations at capitol buildings across the country and are currently coordinating protests for Trans Day of Visibility on March 31 and Trans Day of Vengeance on April 1.

I know change.org petitions don't do much, but there's a walkout from Doll////ar Gene////ral for employee rights tomorrow. Please, don't shop there tomorrow to show us your support.
My manager changed my schedule without letting me know and picked me up for work in a FUCKING TESLA while I have to have help from my parents to pay rent and occasionally to get groceries. If you can PLEASE boost this for me, it'd mean a lot
