o/Activism is a circle for sharing various calls to action for feminist causes, including petitions, fundraisers, letter-writing or call-in campaigns, etc.
The call to action should be clear from the post itself. Do not post links to news/articles and then write about what to do about them in the comments. Instead, make a text post with the action to take described in the post, and then include any links to news/articles in the text post. Posts that are links should only be links to pages that include calls to action in them, or are relevant, current activism resources. No one should be left wondering "but what am I to do about it?" after reading a post.
Image posts are only enabled for event fliers and advertisements of feminist groups. No other images are allowed.
Personal or action-inspiring activism reports may be appropriate here, subject to mod discretion. This is not a discussion circle but a call to action circle, so the activism report needs to contribute to calling others to action. In general, it's a better idea to use the feminist discussion circles listed below.
Activism groups that are friendly to gender critical feminists can also be advertised here. However, advertisements for Discord chat rooms or other private groups must be pre-approved by /o/Activism moderators before you post. Please report any ads for private groups that do not have a comment from a mod confirming that it is approved. Never give anyone sensitive information that could be used to de-anonymize you without first vetting them yourself. Be careful!
This circle is about accomplishing specific feminist goals. If you want to discuss ideologies, current events, debates, articles, or news, use other circles such as /o/WomensLiberation or /o/GenderCritical. If you are posting a specific event, you probably want to post to /o/FeministEvents as well.
The Sitewide Rules and Sitewide Guidelines are both enforced here.
Pedestrian crossings are pieces of safety equipment. Any damage to safety equipment would be highly illegal. The fact that local councils are themselves deliberately defacing this same piece of safety equipment via painting them so as to make them ambiguous and unsafe has been pointed out as a problem, but they seem to be getting away with their vandalism. They have even been saying accidental tyre marks on these crossings are a transphobic hate crime, so I imagine they would class chalk slogans as hate crime too.
If tyre marks on a road surface are hate crimes then they better put red velvet ropes around them to stop people walking on them, walking on things is what you do to things you hate, trampling the flag.
bunch of Nazis
Blind people who complained that their guide dogs did not recognise these rainbow crossings were also called transphobic. Old people with dementia who were confused by the crossings were similarly branded as bigots.
there is one I came across about a mile or so away, I had no idea it was there I was very confused myself if it was actually a crossing for people and decided not to use it and carried on walking until I got to a real crossing.
