Nashvillians will participate in the upcoming National Women’s Strike, which is an event hosted by the Women’s March.
On Monday, June 24, the day that Roe v. Wade was overturned, turning abortion laws back over to the states, women will take the day off and strike at the Tennessee State Capitol, along with counterparts in around 100 other cities.
“No spending, No work, No school,” Women’s March website says. “On the 2nd anniversary of the overturning of Roe v. Wade, girls, women, and allies go on strike. Participants do not go to work, do not go to school, and/or do not spend even 1 penny. As our privacy, body autonomy, healthcare, and travel rights are being removed, we remove ourselves for 1 day en masse. We stand together for all Americans to show that the nation needs us.”
The group boasts that 1,770 attendees have already confirmed its attendance nationwide.
The Women’s March began as a large protest against former president Donald Trump in Washington on January 21, 2017, the day after Trump’s inauguration, and parlayed itself into a nonprofit organization.
In 2018, the group had a hand in the #CancelKavanaugh movement, wherein Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh was accused without evidence of sexual assault, leading to national protests.
“The Women’s March still brags about its part in that charade on its website.
“Women’s March, along with Center for Popular Democracy, organized four weeks of sustained activism to stop the appointment of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court,” the group says. “Thousands traveled to D.C. from states including Maine, Nebraska, Iowa, Alaska, South Carolina where nearly 500 people were arrested for occupying Senate offices and disrupting the confirmation process.”
The group’s momentum was slowed in 2019 when Tamika Mallory, Bob Bland, and Linda Sarsour, three of the group’s original founders, resigned from the board in disgrace due to antisemitism.
The group was also closely associated with Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.

OMG! Look at them, are they real women or………..?
THINK ABOUT THE IDIOCY. Women who want everyone to agree they should have the right to murder their own children, are having a nationwide Strike.
T G EY SHOULDCBE FIRED FROM THEIR JOBS, IF THEY HAVE ONE.
The right to kill children was NOT ELIMINATED with the overturn of ROE vs WADE. It just said the Federal Government CANNOT force Abortion on ALL 50 Soverign States bc Guess What the US CONSTITUTION does not mention abortion. That means it’s UNCONSTITUTIONAL for the Federal Government to have a say at all. It means those of you who think murder of an innocent child is JUSTIFIED, must find a way to convince your State Elected employees that murdering the unborn is a great thing for mothers & children. WHY IS THAT SO HARD?
MAYBE ITS BC THE LEFT INSISTS ON NO RESTRICTIONS ON WHEN ABORTIONS SHOULD BE ALLOWED. THEY WANT MOTHERS TO BE ABLE TO KILL THEIR CHILD EVEN IF THE INFANT IS ACCIDENTALLY BORN; EVEN IF THE CHILD IS FULLY DEVELOPED, HAS A HEARTBEAT, FEELS PAIN & IS VIABLE OUTSIDE THE WOMB.
ITS MIND BOGGLING. THERE WILL BE STATES WITH NO RESTRICTIONS ( AKA SANCTUARY STATES FOR INFANTICIDE LIKE CALIFORNIA.) THERE ARE ORGANIZATIONS FUNDED BY SOROS THROUGH PLANNED PARENTHOOD THAT WILL HELP ANY WOMAN WITH the TRAVEL EXPENSES, EVEN FOR MINORS.
THE ONE REQUIREMENT ID LIKE TO SEE ON THE BOOKS IN ALL STATES IS A MANDATORY ULTRASOUND PRIOR TO THE ABORTION PROCEDURE,. ALSO COUNSELING ON THE PROCEDURE WHICH IS A BARBARIC SUCKING OF A VACCUUM -LIKE PROCEDURE, SO MOMMY CAN SEE HER BABY BEFORE SHE KILLS HIM OR HER.
AND COUNSELING ON OTHER OPTIONS.
ISNT THAT A HUMANE, JUSTIFIABLE & REASONABLE REQUEST FOR THE CHILDS RIGHT TO LIFE, LIBERTY & THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS? ITS NOT HARMFUL. AND MANY WOMEN CHANGE THEIR MINDS & LOOK FOR OTHER AVAILABLE OPTIONS.
I
from the pic we arent going to be missing much, hateful death worshippers
Take a long, hard look at that motley crew in the photo. Go on strike from doing what? Hopefully part of their strike will including staying inside so we don’t have to look at them. And mask-up, for heaven’s sake. There are children around.
And anyone attending by lying to their employer (ie calling put sick) needs to be fired. Don’t like the laws in TN perhaps you need to move to California.
As a woman, I will spend double on this day, I will work my job, and I will pray for innocent babies that are being murdered in this country.
Don’t burn our city during your day off.
Satanic Stalinist ghouls.
Looks like a great day for folks, women in particular, to look for a job. Those who participate in such a distorted behavioral activity need to get a dose of reality.
“Nearly 500 people were arrested for occupying Senate offices and disrupting the confirmation process” and their stated goal was “to stop the appointment of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.”
Is the DOJ investigating? Where the charges, sentences, and fines on the level of J6 prosecutions?
Good deal. They can all sit on the couch and watch The View.
don’t forget to dye your hair blue and wear your pink pussy hats.
Love it! Should have more strikes like these… B to B Businesses should be able to get something done without having to put up with all the DEI BS and overemotional reactions. Time to have that productive meeting gents!
