Very good question Steffie...Given the state of abortion rights in
this country and the overall state of the women's movement, not to
mention the very real threat from the empire against Iran, its
astounding to me that this is an action that gets prioritised in a US
context. The idea that you can have a rally in NY against the Iranian
regime and proclaim away its objectively pro-imperialist implications
is a voluntarist fantasy.Shame.
