Some great signs from the Women's March in Seattle, the crowd at the beginning, and the bald eagles that circled over us for several minutes

Dispatches from the Womxn’s March: Does the Mayor understand what intersectionalism means?

The women of Seattlish thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Womxn’s March in Seattle (though we have some thoughts about the notable difference in police presence as compared to other rallies and marches that have fewer nice middle-aged white ladies in them, but we’ll write something about that later). 

We were joined, of course, by upwards of 175k people, depending on who you ask. One such person was Mayor Ed Murray, who donned a pussy hat and proclaimed his respect for women and dedication toward women’s issues. 

Unfortunately, a friend of Seattlish reported that Mayor Ed Murray (and his staff) was perhaps not as interested in like, all women’s issues. 

This source, who was standing near Murray, began a chant about encampment sweeps. The Mayor looked visibly displeased. 

“This is about women’s issues,” one of his (female!) staffers informed the people chanting about sweeps. 

But of course, homelessness is a women’s issue. Women who are homeless are at great risk of assault and sexual violence and are often homeless because they’re survivors of domestic violence. 

Additionally, at this exact moment, the City of Seattle is being sued by two women who reported that the sweeps, which the marchers were chanting about, were unconstitutional and illegal. 

So yes, homelessness is, in fact, also a women’s issue. 

But then again, the Mayor hasn’t exactly laid down a solid foundation on “women’s issues,” intersectional or otherwise. There was the time he all but ignored Equal Pay Day, the time he took credit for a woman’s work on equal pay work, and then there was that time when he made a jaw-droppingly sexist joke at a fundraiser. 

Regardless, it was clear from his response on Saturday that the Mayor wasn’t super happy about being confronted with his foot-dragging on homelessness when he was trying so hard to be an ally to women (so long as they live inside).

Also, Seattle was wonderful today. #womxnsmarchseattle

I march with my many-gendered sisters because the fight for love and the fight for justice cannot be unlinked. I march because resilience is relational. We must resist & we must stand together. I march because black lives matter, brown lives matter, women's rights are human rights, & love is love is love. I march because I am not free if you are not free. #womxnsmarchseattle #womensmarch
