Fellow witches, goddess worshippers, pagans, wiccans, occultists, spiritual feminists and other like-minded people,<br><br>We have been silent for far too long. We have been complacent, thinking that the dangers of the past could not touch us, and that our rights and freedoms were secure. <br><br>Now, those freedoms have been taken away from us. The right to control our own bodies has been taken away. The right to make decisions over our own healthcare, our own reproduction, our own freedom and happiness, has been brutally taken away from us. This is an act of violence that is being committed not only against women and people with uteruses, but against all of us, as a society and as a planet. This is a brutal, patriarchal expression of the overreach of state power and control over our personal choices, and the choices that we make about our own bodies. This is a stark attack on the bodily autonomy of women and people with uteruses, and it is an attempt to return us to darker times, in which women and people with uteruses had no say over our own lives and our own bodies, and in which our own healthcare and happiness were not considered important, or even relevant. <br><br>But we say no. We say that we will not go backwards. We say that we will not be silenced. And we say that we will not be oppressed. We have the power to control our own lives and our own bodies, and we have the power to change society for the better. This power is our birthright. It is our deepest, most sacred magic. And we will use it, in every way that we can. We will fight with everything that we have, with every fibre of our beings and with every tool at our disposal, to get our rights and freedoms back, and to create a better world for ourselves, for future generations, and for the planet that we love. <br><br>To all US citizens, please vote in the upcoming midterm elections, and vote out those who have done this. If you are in a red state, consider leaving, if you can. Organise, get involved in a local abortion fund, on the ground organisation or demonstrate. <br><br>To all people outside of the US, please put pressure on your own leaders and your own governments to bring in or maintain pro-choice legislation. Please also put international pressure on the US government. <br><br>We must stand together, at this time. We must stand together against oppression, and against patriarchy. We are the majority, and our power is growing. It is time for us to wield it. <br><br>We will not go backwards. We will only go forwards. And we will keep going forwards, no matter what obstacles are placed in our path, no matter what hatred or violence is thrown our way, and no matter how many of our rights and freedoms are taken away from us. <br><br>We will not be silenced. We will not be oppressed. <br><br>We are the witches, goddess worshippers, pagans, wiccans, occultists and spiritual feminists of the 21st century. We are used to being oppressed, and we know how to fight back. <br><br>This is a call to action. <br><br>What will you do?
