Dear Signatories to the Code Red Feminist Statement
The #CodeRed Feminist movement was born out of the collective action of a group of feminists seeking to urgently respond to the crisis of the social unrest of July 2021, the structural determinants of the mass unrest and looting, and the ensuing violence that followed. The initial objective of the group was to develop a statement as we felt that a feminist voice/analysis was missing during the unrest. The space was deliberately conceived to be without hierarchy to enable plural leadership and ownership to emerge. #CodeRed is the formation that has emerged. Our demands are: 1. Universal Basic Income Grant - now! 2. An end to fiscal austerity 3. An end to government and corporate looting 4. The resourcing and implementation of the National Strategic Plan on GBVF and the National Health Insurance You can learn more about our collective here: https://coderedfeminists.weebly.com/ On 27 August, we are planning joint action in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Buffalo City and Makhanda. In Joburg and Pretoria, we have been warned by police that we will face imminent arrest if our numbers exceed 100. This means we need new ways of organizing. Can we rely on you to show up and help us reach 100 people each to form a humn chain in Johannesburg and Pretoria? Numbers in Pretoria are especially low. All COVID-related protocols will be observed, and we are able to support with transport. Can you mobilize 10-20 people for this action? We are also sharing this form to gauge support: https://forms.gle/utUq52ByemLZKMS39 Warm regards, Conveners - Johannesburg and Pretoria
