On March 8, 2013, International Women's Day, we were there to deliver the message....
WE WILL NOT BE SILENT END MISOGYNY
Together we read NOTES TO THE FUTURE, a compilation of quotes by women throughout history. We then marched through New York City streets for all to see.
As passersby stopped to hear our voices, to read the signs and on several occasions, especially policemen, to stop and ask, "What does MISOGYNY mean?", it became clear that as June Jordan stated, "to tell the truth is to become beautiful, to begin to love yourself. And that's political, in its most profound way."

WE WILL NOT BE SILENT is an artist/activist collective that has been in existence since 2006. Through the creative use of language embodied on shirts and at times emboldened on signs held up in public spaces, we respond to current social justice issues, encouraging creative, direct public-actions where many people can participate.
