The implication that militancy in the streets is more important than the reproductive care and struggle "behind the scenes" is a misogynist misunderstanding of revolutionary movement, _as well as_ of militancy.
Beauty of encampments, autonomous areas + riot zones is a tremendous amount of feeding each other, caring for one another, thinking talking, healing from harm together, while others hold the line against police/property. Many move back + forth, while some prefer particular spaces
But even when those spaces disappear, or if we have to leave them/cant be in them for wahtever reason, the struggle continues in caring for each other, breaking down and analyzing what happened, reorienting our daily lives in a way that incorporates what is learned in street
all of that is revolutionary, and each person finds their own place to contribute, participate, feel held and changed. A movement that doesn't provide space for that, celebrate that, or indeed denies its importance is at the very least tending toward ableism, misogyny.
Right now in Philly having a protest move through your area means you get fed (mostly snacks but still) , bottled water, ppe, hand sanitizer. It is so moving how many ppl are coming out with trailers full of food and medicine for ppl
