In a racist + heteropatriachal society, a perfect victim = white woman. Survivors of color are seen as at fault for their abuse or as abusers themselves. #AntiViolenceDirtyLaundry [THREAD 1/5]
Gender-based violence (GBV) organizations embedded in racist carceral systems choose proximity to carceral power OVER the most marginalized survivors. By taking money from and aligning with cops, DAs & cages. #AntiViolenceDirtyLaundry [2/5]
NYC antiviolence organizations protect cishet white womanhood over all others + facilitate the dehumanization and punishment of Black women, other women of color, and trans and queer folks. #AntiViolenceDirtyLaundry [3/5]
We invite carceral feminist GBV orgs in NYC to stand in solidarity w/ criminalized survivors + communities. Call for divestment and REJECT DA + NYPD $$. Resources should go to housing + emergency funds for survivors, NOT killer cops + cages. [4/5]
And if you want to support abolitionist mutual aid and survivor support organizers, check out @centrocorona, Project Hajra, and @JahajeeSisters building radical care networks to keep their communities safe from violence + exploitation [5/5]
