Title: Another Communiqué Author: Jane’s Revenge Date: June 14th, 2022 Language: en Topics: abortion, anarcha-feminism, reproductive justice, communique, Jane’s Revenge Source: Retrieved on June 15th, 2022 from https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/post/2022/06/14/janes-revenge-another-communique/
You have seen that we are real, and that we are not merely pushing empty
words. As we said: we are not one group but many. You have seen us in
Madison WI, Ft. Collins CO, Reisertown MA, Olympia WA, Des Moines IA,
Lynwood WA, Washington DC, Ashville NC, Buffalo NY, Hollywood FL,
Vancouver WA, Frederick MA, Denton TX, Gresham OR, Eugene OR, Portland
OR, among others, and we work in countless locations invisibly. You’ve
read the communiqués from the various cells, you’ve seen the
proliferating messages in graffiti and elsewhere, and you know that we
are serious.
We were unsurprised to see thirty days come and thirty days pass with no
sign of consilience or even bare-minimum self-reflection from you who
impersonate healthcare providers in order to harm the vulnerable.
History may not repeat itself, but it certainly rhymes, and we’ve
already seen such stanzas where medical autonomy is stripped away,
humanity is increasingly criminalized, and merely surviving becomes
largely untenable.
Your thirty days expired yesterday. We offered an honourable way out.
You could have walked away. Now the leash is off. And we will make it as
hard as possible for your campaign of oppression to continue. We have
demonstrated in the past month how easy and fun it is to attack. We are
versatile, we are mercurial, and we answer to no one but ourselves. We
promised to take increasingly drastic measures against oppressive
infrastructures. Rest assured that we will, and those measures may not
come in the form of something so easily cleaned up as fire and graffiti.
Sometimes you will see what we do, and you will know that it is us.
Sometimes you will think you merely are unlucky, because you cannot see
the ways which we interfere in your affairs. But your pointless attempts
to control others, and make life more difficult, will not be met
passively. Eventually your insurance companies, and your financial
backers will realize you are a bad investment.
From here forward, any anti-choice group who closes their doors, and
stops operating will no longer be a target. But until you do, it’s open
season, and we know where your operations are. The infrastructure of the
enslavers will not survive. We will never stop, back down, slow down, or
retreat. We did not want this; but it is upon us, and so we must deal
with it proportionally. We exist in confluence and solidarity with all
others in the struggle for complete liberation. Our recourse now is to
defend ourselves and to build robust, caring communities of mutual aid,
so that we may heal ourselves without the need of the medical industry
or any other intermediary. Through attacking, we find joy, courage, and
strip the veneer of impenetrability held by these violent institutions.
And for the allies of ours who doubt the authenticity of the communiqués
and actions: there is a way you can get irrefutable proof that these
actions are real. Go do one of your own. You are already one of us.
Everyone with the urge to paint, to burn, to cut, to jam: now is the
time. Go forth and manifest the things you wish to see. Stay safe, and
practice your cursive.
