Sarah Sophie Flicker, Our Friend & Women's Day Organizer
A day without a woman forces us to wrestle with the question: what does a day without a woman look like? Is this even possible in my life? Is it possible for caregivers, teachers, nurses, single parents to fully participate in? Is it possible for low income/minimum wage workers? Probably not. And that is a problem. But we also can't expect a perfect answer or solution to these questions. We have to be nuanced enough to recognize that many women don't have the privilege to engage in all three actions. Some women can engage in one, they can wear red, they can not shop. To me, success means grappling with these questions and recognizing that we have hold space for many truths and complications to exist at once. That was another disheartening thread coming out of this election and this administration. The truly traditionally masculine idea that there are strict binary "Right" answers to anything.
