Occupy Gender Equality is a collection of peaceful individuals committed to tearing down the walls of gender-binary/sexist-oppression in its many varying forms. This page is a venue, an outlet, and a resource to guide a better understanding, essentially to connect the dots, about how dirty corporate money directly molds the landscape of our economy--politically, socially, environmentally, etc.--an
d inherently uses group oppression in exchange for capital gain. The gender binary is oppressive in nature, isolates, demonizes and threatens women as well as those who do not conform to traditional patriarchal gender and sexual norms. Language, politics and cultural norms have pitted one group up against one another. These interlocking systems of domination force us to the bottom of every sector including education, labor, social services, and the prison industrial complex. We are entrenched in situations that have limited, or nonexistent, opportunities to prosper economically, socially, and mentally. Enough is enough!! It is time for true equality of women and all genders; for political and economic systems that are truly of, by, and for all people. The revolution of consciousness shifting has only begun. In standing up together, we use our collective power to forge the path to a healthy, productive, and meaningful life filled with love and self-expression among all other members of our human community. Occupy Gender Equality is here to provide you with access to articles, planned activities/events, blog style notes, recommended reading lists and ways YOU can advocate with your body and mind in solidarity with a movement that will create gender equality through a greater vision of what it means to be a human on this planet. The Gender Equality Caucus of Occupy Seattle celebrates people all over the world lifting up their heads in resistance.
