DESCRIPTION:Join us for a creative intervention, solidarity rally and call to action 
 for all who have experienced gender-based violence, organized as part of 
 Anti Police-Terror Project's call for 120 hours of direct action.\n\nWe who 
 have experienced gender-based violence are immensely impacted by the 
 reality of the impending predatory federal administration. With an accused 
 rapist at the helm, this government sanctions acts of violent sexual, 
 psychological and physical harm through enacting and promoting gender-based 
 power, in addition to perpetuating a racist, misogynist, xenophobic, 
 classist, ableist, transphobic, and homophobic agenda. \n\nThe man who will 
 assume the presidency of the United States and his supporters are not a 
 surprise and are all too familiar. We have seen their faces. We have stared 
 them down. Together we know every line, every tactic, every blueprint for 
 our destruction. We will use this collective knowledge to destroy their 
 agenda. We will use this collective knowledge to take it down.\n\nOn 
 January 19th at 6:30 pm, we will come together to affirm that the 
 possibility of a world without gender-based violence persists in the face 
 of the impending administration. We will demand recognition and assert that 
 this vision of another world will be realized through tireless organizing 
 and survivor-led resistance. \n\nGender-based violence knows no culture, 
 race, gender identity, sexuality, ability or age, though its impact affects 
 different communities with disparity. All are welcome as essential voices 
 in the continued development of our resistance. We will be centering the 
 voices of POC, trans and gender-nonconforming folks, and women. Allies and 
 accomplices are encouraged to attend. Together, we will articulate a space 
 of solidarity, support and resistance.\n\nBring your righteous rage, your 
 grief, and your dissent to be witnessed and supported by fellow 
 survivors/victims and allies! \n_________________________\n\n6:30pm: 
 Meet-up at Oscar Grant Plaza. Be there by 6:45pm, as event will be 
 mobile.\n\nThis event will be wheelchair accessible and will have ASL 
 interpretation. We request that you please refrain from wearing fragrances 
 or burning sage at this event out of respect for folks with scent 
 sensitivities. \n\nWe will be organizing transportation via car for folks 
 who may not be able to walk far, and may need assistance reaching the 
 eventual end location of the march. These will be volunteer, four-door 
 vehicles and possibly one van. If you need assistance, please let us know 
 at support@disclosesilence.org so we can organize enough seats to support 
 you!\n\n* We are defining gender-based violence beyond violence against cis 
 women. Gender-based violence is any gender-based enactment of power which 
 results in the perpetuation of violent harm against an individual, family 
 or community. Examples are sexual assault, intimate partner assault, hate 
 crimes against the LGBTQ2 community, or any psychological abuse, gas 
 lighting, economic abuse, child abuse, elder abuse and abuse against 
 disabled folks that occurs as the result of the enactment of gender-based 
 power. \n\n** If you identify as an ally and/or accomplice and would like 
 to be an active part of organizing for this event - in particular, cis men 
 who have not experienced assault - please contact us at
