Female reproductive rights are being decided by mostly (white) men as the Supreme Court of the United States overturned Roe vs Wade. In other less publicized but alarming decisions on - separation of church & state, concealed gun ownership, EPA protections, and hinting at overturning LGTBQ rights, they are eroding 14th amendment protections, and woe VS rade is our response.

woe VS rade is a call to action from artists and activists who are moved by the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States of America. Woe has many meanings, friend, great sorrow or distress, a decision that can cause big problems or troubles, extreme sadness, an expression of great sadness. As Rade is similar with a variety of definitions, we are afraid, scared, terrified, maybe even a little fearful and so we plan an artistic attack. We all know it, We are all still protesting it, and they are continuing to build these walls for us to put art up on.

Todo está rojo
Abusos entallados
Un veredicto entonado
Confunden el pecado
Con un legado
Quiero un cielo separado
Donde mi cuerpo no le pertenezca al estado
