Concrete jungle where slutty dreams are made of

This weekend, New York City got all slutty. SlutWalk NYC was held in Union Square and let me tell you, it was one hell of a day.

My hat off to the organizers, who put an enormous amount of time, energy and thought into the day. It really showed. Thanks to the survivors and allies who showed up to protest slut-shaming and victim-blaming, to support survivors, and to show the larger community that they won’t tolerate rape culture. And lastly, a huge round of applause to the speakers and performers who shared their stories and their passion with the crowd.

A bunch of Feministing crew members were there – Lori, Samhita, Goddess Jaz, Maya, Courtney, Vanessa and myself – and it was such a thrill to be out in the street doing traditional activism with the people with whom I usually do online activism. Here are a few photos I took on the day:

There are several great photo albums you can look at if you missed the event – or if you were there and want to relive it. You can also check out video footage of the day. And, the official SlutWalk NYC site will be updated over the next few days with new photos and video.
