Convicts evidently do not consider themselves criminals merely victims. "Its just not fair".

A Palestinian Rasmea Yousef Odeh aka Rasmea Yousef, Rasmieh Steve, or Rasmieh Joseph Steve leads a new march "militant feminist march". She was convicted in 1970 by an Israeli military court of involvement in fatal terrorist bombings (life sentence but they let her go early). She lied to gain entry into the USA and in 2014 she was again convicted by a US federal jury for immigration fraud (but according to her it was not her fault and it ain't fair). She is scheduled to be deported after she serves her time but evidently she is currently free on bail (why?).

Organizers of the upcoming march per the Guardian, Linda Martín Alcoff (how do y'all like her avatar), Cinzia Arruzza (a a leading member of Sinistra Critica [leftist communist party) in Italy. Today she is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the New School for Social Research in New School for Social Research in New York. Is she actually a citizen of the USA???), Tithi Bhattacharya (Tithi Bhattacharya received her Ph.D. from the School of Oriental and African Studies (University of London) in 2000. Currently works at Purdue. Her own words about becoming a US citizen 2015. Since she evidently doesn't like it and doesn't really desire to actually assimilate but claims she wants to change it maybe she can go back home and fight for women's rights), Nancy Fraser American (Social Justice, college professor), Barbara Ransby (American, BLM+) , Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor (Socialist, BLM), Rasmea Yousef Odeh (Palestinian, convicted terrorist, order to deport in place), and Angela Davis (prominent counterculture activist and radical in the 1960s as a leader of the Communist Party USA) proposed “feminism for the 99%,” starting with the strike. They stated:

While Trump’s blatant misogyny was the immediate trigger for the huge response on 21 January, the attack on women (and all working people) long predates his administration. Women’s conditions of life, especially those of women of color and of working, unemployed and migrant women, have steadily deteriorated over the last 30 years, thanks to financialization and corporate globalization.

Lean-in feminism and other variants of corporate feminism have failed the overwhelming majority of us, who do not have access to individual self-promotion and advancement and whose conditions of life can be improved only through policies that defend social reproduction, secure reproductive justice and guarantee labor rights. As we see it, the new wave of women’s mobilization must address all these concerns in a frontal way. It must be a feminism for the 99%.

As a first step, we propose to help build an international strike against male violence and in defense of reproductive rights on 8 March. In this, we join with feminist groups from around 30 countries who have called for such a strike.

The idea is to mobilize women, including trans women, and all who support them in an international day of struggle – a day of striking, marching, blocking roads, bridges, and squares, abstaining from domestic, care and sex work, boycotting, calling out misogynistic politicians and companies, striking in educational institutions. These actions are aimed at making visible the needs and aspirations of those whom lean-in feminism ignored: women in the formal labor market, women working in the sphere of social reproduction and care, and unemployed and precarious working women.

From the FB page of Tithi Bhattacharya, "The strike allows us to find each other, and to together constitute a new collective subject, bringing our bodies together in a common action and shared territory. Just as women’s labor takes many forms, so does the women’s strike: a work stoppage, a walkout, a march, a picket, a blockade, a shopping boycott, collectively refusing gender roles. The strike takes place everywhere: in homes, schools, marketplaces, neighborhoods, the streets. And, as important as what we don’t do, is what we do instead: making ourselves available for ourselves and for each other allows us to create our own forms of organization, practices of self-defense, and structures of care."

^^ I don't get it fully they are willing to call their bodies "shared territory" but are unwilling to protect a child in the womb?




 
Update; Sudanese Asylum refugee had checkered life here with misdemeanors but then he killed a 16 year old.
Gang Deng Majok pleaded guilty to murder Friday in the shooting death of Treyjon Arsenault, the 19-year-old Westbrook High School graduate who was gunned down inside a Portland recording studio on Memorial Day weekend in 2015.
Majok, who was sentenced to 30 years by Justice Andrew M. Horton, agreed to change his plea rather than risk a trial.
