When we talk about #COVID19 like it’s a war and we talk about the “frontlines” of that war: who are the majority of the fighters on that frontline?

When we talk about “work” and “value” and “essential”: whose work is the most valued and the most essential right now?
When wars end, countries build a “tomb of the unknown soldier” and memorials to eulogize those killed on the frontlines, to thank them for their sacrifice.

Fuck war and fuck militarism.

Recognize women’s service, sacrifice, and heroism.

Recognize your heroes.
