How Celebs & the Media Are Striking Today

By

With less than 24 hours before A Day Without Women, a bunch of celebrities and a few media outlets are showing their intent to strike on social media.

The strike, organized by the same women behind the Women’s March on January 21st, asks women to abstain from all labor, paid and unpaid. For anyone unable to strike and men, there are other ways to participate as well.

While a lot of people striking are social justice warriors and professional protesters, it’s dope that so many celebrities are showing their intent to strike and giving visibility to the cause. Here are some of the celebs who are preparing to strike:

1. Janelle Monae

2. Aja King

3. Jessica Chastain

I’m doing this. And will have a new poem up today at Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls inspired by it. #Repost @bust_magazine with @repostapp ・・・ Tomorrow is international women’s day and we will be participating in A Day Without a Woman Strike. Here is the deal, if you can safely strike, do it, do not engage in paid or unpaid labor, if not, and we understand that many women cannot, here are a few options: 1. Wear RED in solidarity 2. Avoid spending money (with exceptions for small, women- and minority-owned businesses that support gender, racial, and economic equity/Day Without A Woman) 3. Over on bust.com we’ve started to compile a list of women’s owned businesses that we will be expanding on this year. 4. Find a protest in your area. NYC is convening at noon up near Central Park. 5. Hang out with your sisters, help a woman out. Make sure to follow @womensmarch for more info. #DayWithoutAWoman #IStrikeFor Image by @marisolmuro
