Disclose

Today, we stand in solidarity with the many who are unable to take a day off of either paid or unpaid labor to participate in the Women's Strike.

We stand today, and every day, with women of color, with trans women, with undocumented women, with mothers, with caregivers, with broke and poor women and with disabled women. We stand with all women.

We stand with all women who are being s*xually intimidated or exploited in their jobs, for all women for whom taking a day off could mean termination. We stand with all women who are experiencing physical, psychological and financial abuse at the hands of partners, who are trapped in their homes - women who now are even more bereft of a way out, as gentrification makes survival for many nearly impossible. We stand with all women survivors of s*xual assault and trafficking, women who need their majority-women therapists, doctors and other care providers to show up to work today to witness and support.

We stand with trans women who may find themselves, once again, invisibilized by pink knitted hats or signs equating Women to genitalia.

Today, we stand with all women, and call for survivor-led resistance, defined outside of the realm of second wave feminism.

Today, and every day, we assert that another world is possible.
Together, we hold a vision of a world without gender-based violence, and we will not stop fighting until we see that vision become a reality.

Documentation-Jan19th In Oakland, California, multiple survivors of gender-based violence have come together to articulate a video declaration against the Trump administration, and to…

Images from the incredible projected action that Force: Upsetting R**e Culture undertook at the Washington DC Convention Center, using text and images from DISCLOSE's video, "We Will Not Be Silent".

"On the eve of the presidential inauguration, survivors of r**e and abuse projected building-sized statements of how Trump reminds them of their abusers in Oakland, California and Washington DC. The stills are from a video by Disclose, which was released online today during a Twitter storm coinciding with Trump’s swearing in ceremony.

As Trump supporters and protesters poured into the nation’s capitol for inauguration weekend, the front facade of the Washington DC Convention Center was lit up with statements like “In this man’s words I feel the anger of the man who pinned me to the floor when I was 14”. These statements, along with images, were taken from a video by Disclose, an Oakland-based art-activism collective. Tonight, the convention center will host an inaugural ball, celebrating Trump’s presidency. Luminous Intervention projected the statements in collaboration with FORCE.

In Oakland, California, Disclose organized survivors and allies who marched to the Oakland Police Department headquarters, where they projected the video upon the building’s front facade. The Oakland action was in protest of the inauguration of the "Ra**st in Chief" and o the repeated s*xual exploitation, coercion and intimidation of s*x worker Celeste Guap, whose story made national news in 2016.
