DESCRIPTION:PATRIARCHY KILLS!\nNov. 2nd, Day of The Dead\n7pm\n24th St. and Bryant St., 
 Mission District, San Francisco\n\nThe last week of September of this year 
 two of our friends and comrades, Sali Marcella Grace and Kirsten Brydum, 
 were both brutally murdered in acts of blatant violence against 
 women.\n\nThese young and strong anarchist women truly died in the 
 struggle- Sali was raped and murdered while doing solidarity work in 
 Oaxaca, Mexico, and Kirsten, who was missing for 8 hours before found shot 
 dead, was on a tour researching "collective autonomy" projects in New 
 Orleans.\n\nDuring this year's Day of the Dead procession in the Mission, 
 we will be present in the streets to show our grief and rage for our fallen 
 comrades but also to demonstrate what Sali and Kirsten embodied- resistance 
 to the very same interconnected systems of oppression that led to their 
 untimely deaths.  We will walk in a contingent with a banner that reads 
 "Patriarchy Kills" and we are encouraging people to bring signs, banners, 
 or\nincorporate messaging against patriarchy into their face paint and on 
 costumes.\n\nWe do not view Sali and Kirsten as victims but rather 
 casualties in the on-going war on women and trans people- a war that the 
 state and economic systems enable, empower, finance and benefit from.  We 
 recognize that murder is a direct result of rape and gendered violence.  In 
 rejecting the social model of the "white middle class woman victim" present 
 in\nmainstream discourse concerning violence towards women, we see race, 
 class and gender oppression dangerously intersecting for many women around 
 us .\n\nAs anarchists, we know that we cannot effectively fight the state 
 or capitalism without also smashing patriarchy. Join us in solidarity in 
 showing our resistance to patriarchy in remembrance of women casualties of 
 the gender war.\n\nWe recognize the spiritual nature of Dia de los Muertos 
 and will reflect the solemn yet celebratory tone of the evening.\n\n\n\n
