We are mobilizing as the new president of the United States prepares to apply the violently sexist, lesbophobic, homophobic, xenophobic and racist ideology that he defended during his campaign. His choice for the Supreme Court is William Pryor, a judge who considers abortion to be "the worst abomination" in legal history. His vice president, Mike Pence, openly espouses creationist ideas. His main advisor, Steve Bannon, publishes hateful racist and misogynist messages on his website. He also wants to destroy ObamaCare, the health insurance law.
Cette politique réactionnaire à l’oeuvre aujourd’hui aux Etats-Unis est la concrétisation d’une dynamique plus large dans le monde, en Europe, en France :
En Europe, des mouvements conservateurs et rétrogrades remettent régulièrement en cause les droits des femmes, en particulier l’avortement (Pologne, Espagne…)
En France, le danger est réel en provenance de plusieurs candidats à la présidentielle, qui instrumentalisent les droits des femmes.
This reactionary politics at work today in the United States is the concretization of a much wider phenomenon in the world, in Europe, in France:
In Europe, conservative and reactionary movements constantly challenge the rights of women, in particular abortion (Poland, Spain, etc.)
In France, there is real danger coming from several presidential candidates who threaten women’s rights.
Nous marcherons le 21 janvier pour témoigner notre solidarité avec la Women’s March on Washington, car défendre les droits des femmes aux Etats-Unis, c’est défendre les droits des femmes en France et dans le monde entier. Nous marcherons contre les incitations à la haine, les attitudes discriminatoires, les messages et actions réactionnaires. Cette marche se veut ouverte à toutes et tous, et chaque individu.e partout dans le monde sera le/la bienvenu.e.
We will march on January 21 in solidarity with the Women’s March on Washington, because defending women’s rights in the United States is defending them in France and the world over. We will march against incitement to hatred, discriminatory attitudes, reactionary messages and actions. This march is open to women and men, and every person in the world is welcome.
