Stop Patriarchy

Wed. November 30 – 7:00 pm

A world without rape, sexism and patriarchy is possible.  These things are not a product of some unchanging, unchangeable human nature.  They are a product of the system and how it shapes people.  Come find out “Why & How the Future Revolutionary Society Will End Pornography, Prostitution and Patriarchy!”

Last in a series of talks given by Sunsara Taylor, followed by Q&A, discussion, debate, and mobilization. Sunsara is currently working with others to launch this new effort to End Pornography and Patriarchy; the Enslavement and Degradation of Women.

Sunsara Taylor writes for Revolution Newspaper, is on the Advisory Board of The World Can’t Wait, and is a co-host on “Equal Time for Freethought” on WBAI in NYC.

A huge wave of extremely dangerous, utterly heartless, and profoundly anti-woman legislation has swept through state legislatures this year and there have been new threats to abortion providers. 

• What is behind this assault on women’s lives? 
• What’s wrong with seeking “common ground” with anti-abortionists?
• What’s wrong with the notion that abortion should be “legal, but rare”?  

Sunsara will bring out the positive morality of the right to abortion, the immorality of those who oppose this right and the need for stepped-up resistance!

“Why and How the Future Revolutionary Society Will End Pornography, Prostitution, and Patriarchy”

Where: The Village Voice, 36 Cooper Square, Manhattan

Time: 4 – 7 pm  

The movement to End Pornography & Patriarchy; the Enslavement and Degradation of Women is joining with CATW and others -

Here’s the call from the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women:  

“The Coalition Against Trafficking in Women (CATW) in partnership with Prostitution Research and Education (PRE) will hold a protest in front of the Village Voice building at the offices of Village Voice Media Holdings, LLC, owner of Backpage.com. This protest, co-sponsored by Equality Now, Soroptimist International of the Americas, Apne Aap, Alicia Keys, Gloria Steinem, Aboriginal Women’s Action Network, Breaking Free, Ambassador Mark Lagon, Frederick Douglass Family Foundation, Temple Committee Against Human Trafficking, A Call to Men, and more than 75 leading human rights organizations and prominent individuals, will bring attention to Backpage’s facilitation of and profiting from sex trafficking.  

“Backpage is now the leading online facilitator of sex trafficking,” says Norma Ramos, Executive Director of CATW. Since August, 51 Attorneys General have called upon Backpage to cease its facilitation of sex trafficking. They have cited more than 50 cases across 22 U.S. states in the past three years that involve Backpage’s facilitation of sex trafficking.   “Backpage generates an estimated $2 million per month largely by functioning as a virtual red light district for pimps/traffickers and johns in the U.S. and at least 10 other countries. Village Voice Media Holdings, LLC displays a reckless disregard for human rights and could instead act to create a sex trafficking free Internet by no longer hosting prostitution ads through Backpage.  

“Join us as we hold Village Voice Media Holdings, LLC accountable for its role in the rank exploitation of others. We call upon Village Voice Media Holdings, LLC to engage in corporate responsibility by ceasing to host ads that facilitate sex trafficking on Backpage.
