“How Far We’ve Come”: Austin in the Streets Against Attacks on Abortion Access

Anonymous transmission originally published on It’s Going Down. We have swapped out some of the media at the end of the article.

The memory of 2020 is still around and led to a pretty inspiring demo in Austin, TX. Crowds protesting the ascendance of patriarchal state denials of abortion access, have shown their boldness, and openness to creativity and confrontation.

Keeping Austin Criminal: An Insurgent Review of 2020

2020 was a year of insurgent milestones in Austin–an explosion of autonomous initiatives, a proliferation of insurrectionary tactics and revolt, and the weaving together of new connections between fragmented worlds inhabiting this territory.
