S is for Suffragettes who fought for our rights to be free.
Why we must suffer and struggle for rights will forever baffle me.

S is for a Suffragist Spirit, but this time intersectional-y.
For remembering how white women believed that their rights hinged on leaning into White Supremacy.

S is for Stressing the goals: anti-racism, reparations, pay equity.
On Women’s Equality Day, we must acknowledge our full American history.

S is for saviorism, fake DEI & “investing” in ESG,
for performative “steps” sucking our souls, as cities sink into the seas.

S is for the SDGs stated intentions, “doing good” without measuring or accountability.
It’s $h!t Ads from Shell: “We believe the future of energy is carbon free” without actual sustainability.

S is for Sorry, you may not see sky; the smoke is a bit out of hand.
The wildfires are taking our summers, and hurting our precious land.

S is for bravely taking a Stand against greenwashing or a racist Maga fan.
No more…
