Wednesday: With the Abuelas de La Americas
Aqua, Water, Blue, Flowing
We pray.
We sing.
We dance.
We joined our hearts together.
We add our waters to the sacred vessel.
We receive grandmother wisdom.
We go to the v***a where moon blood flows.
"Gaia no longer wants blood offerings."
It is in beauty.
It is filled with green blessings.
My gratitude and joy flow like a waterfall.
My freedom is a gift.
This loving gathering of women is not available to every woman.
My sisters in prison deserve to be among women.
We are fighting for them; we are fighting for that.

"We started this fight with the state over its insistence on putting male inmates, even rapists and murderers in women's prisons, back in 2021.
We waited anxiously as it meandered through the US district court.
The ACLU intervened on our lawsuit, with this guy as their star 'victim'. Yes, poor Tremaine Carroll desperately needed to be transferred into the women's prison in Chowchilla, California, because he identified as a woman.
We received bad news in 2024 that the US District judge dismissed our case, saying our fears of r**e were 'unfounded.' Two days later, Tremaine was arranged on r**e charges.
He's now standing trial for 2 counts of r**e committed INSIDE the women's prison in Chowchilla. What did they THINK would happen when they put rapists in confinement with women?
You can't make this stuff up.
We were at his preliminary hearings last year. Carroll, sporting a full beard, told the judge that he didn't owe anyone a presentation of his femininity, and he demanded the court address him as she / her. The judge ordered the District Attorney to comply. The story went around the world.
You just can't make this stuff up.
We were upset that our suit was dismissed by the district judge.
We let ourselves commiserate....for about 20 minutes.
Then we got busy.
We refiled, and added a new plaintiff, who was punished WITH A NEW SENTENCE FOR SPEAKING OUT about male inmates being put in women's cells minutes before she was due to be released.
You really can't make this stuff up.
When the state eviscerates women's rights, we must fight them.
We will fight on every hill, in every court, and on every front to stop this injustice being done by the state to incarcerated women.
Male inmates pretending to be women are searched by female guards. These men get titillated and aroused when searched by female guards. So now every search in California is filmed.
That's an injustice to the female guards forced to do these searches on males pretending to be women.
Because of this new policy, male guards watch the female inmates being searched as a form of reality p**n, for their s*xual gratification.
Injustice on injustice is being done to women in California's prison system.
We defeated a bill in Nevada to put men in women's jails this year. We pushed back on a bill in Washington that tried to erase the legal code requiring men and women be housed in separate jails. We testified in Minnesota for a bill that would keep the lone facility in the state for incarcerated women at Shakopee for females only. A protest will be held there November 16th to support the women forced to be housed with males in their cells.
We will never stop fighting for the human rights of incarcerated women to be free from being forced to contend with incarcerated men, most of whom are s*x offenders, in their cells, their showers, and restrooms."

Update from Women's Declaration International:
* On October 19, Minnesota State Contact Elizabeth attended a protest at Shakopee Women's Correctional Facility in support of a formerly incarcerated woman named Jayme Ali, who was recently released from this facility. Ali spoke about her horrifying experience living in a facility that houses men who claim to be women.
* On October 28, Forest, our Massachusetts State Contact, testified at the MA Commission on the Status of Women Public Hearing about why women incarcerated at MCI Framingham should not be housed with men.
