Juntxs Nos Defendemos

Esther Forbyn

Portland Artist Esther Forbyn (@birdstoknow, birdstoknow.org) made this lovely graphic for a women’s and queer empowerment and self-defense workshop in Portland.

 

At the top a floating banner curves in an arch, with the words in delicate cursive: “Juntos / Juntas Nos Defendemos”. (Together we defend ourselves). In the center, a ring of overlapping clover shapes, including one which features the head of a snake, eating its tail, like an ouroborus. To the sides, the trumpet-like flowers of the Datura, angel’s trumpet, or devil’s trumpet.

Seattle’s International Working Women’s Day for Palestine and Beyond

March 12, 2024

“We stand in solidarity with our Palestinian siblings in Gaza and those among our community who are directly and indirectly affected by the current war and genocide by the Israeli settler-colonial regime. Passive observation of the horrors of bombings, genocide, and prolonged apartheid is not our way. We must rise and firmly proclaim that Palestinian Liberation is a Feminist Imperative.” – Feminists for Jina Seattle
