Pussy Riot x Ikiya x Unicorn - Matriarchy Now

join us in our party bid: Austin, TX - Today, Russian protest art collective Pussy Riot, in collaboration with web crypto-anonymous feminist group Unicorn, and Lakota Indigenous femme led Ikiya Collective dominated Austin’s State Capitol, on Coahuiltecan, Tonkawa, Comanche, and Apache lands in solidarity with the fight against attacks on reproductive rights and justice in the US. The activists threw a 45 foot “Matriarchy Now!” banner from the Capitol building’s 3rd floor wearing gopnik tracksuits and green scarves, which were popularized in Latin America during the reproductive rights fight. The moment of action will be minted as an NFT and auctioned via Party Bid - 100% of all funds raised for this action will go to reproductive rights. Besides, Unicorn recently raised $4.5 million to spend on art created by women-identified, non-binary and LGBTQ creators. *** “Matriarchy Now!” manifesto: Body autonomy is a pillar of modern civilization. There’s no human rights as we know them without body autonomy taken as an axiom. People with wombs demand body autonomy. We demand our rights, we don’t ask for it. Don’t like abortions? Don’t make them. Oh yes, and did you know? Vasectomy prevents abortions. Ikiya Collective knows that violence to the body is violence to the land. Since the violent onslaught of colonization, settler patriarchy has violated the sacredness of Indigenous bodies and lands. We see this happening clearly in the so-called state of Texas. For our ancestors, for our lands, for our future generations, we will stand for the land and fight for reproductive justice that grants us the bodily sovereignty we have been denied for too long. xoxo Pussy Riot Unicorn Ikiya Collective
