OK I may have stepped into a minefield here without realizing it. I want to make a giant banner that says "women's rights = human rights" with my wife who will be heading to DC to march as a show of force resisting the imminent Trump administration's planned assault on basic rights with decades of precedent, and maybe some something I can carry at the march in Oakland that starts at OG Plaza.

I am not aware of any downside here and I thought it would be good to make it into a thing with multiple humans working on signs together and planning. Does any of the above sound problematic to occur at sudo?

I'll have to get on that list and get a feel for training opportunities and direct energy there if possible, thanks Jenny! At this point she is not even sure how to get plugged in or where marches will be so even just talking to some folks who are heading to DC and have marched before would be huge.

Another thing Julio - to turn people like her away at the door for not meeting specific intersectionality criteria and/or not using the correct vernacular is not in my opinion conducive to successful cross-cutting resistance especially at this moment in history. I know you come from a good place on this and generally agree so If you can recommend a specific organization or organizations that will be there in DC please do share - my DC friends say it's basically going to be a clusterfuck of 100s of different groups all marching as a show of force, and like the article you linked to says, there is alot to do before and after.

I think the organizers of these marches have good intentions, but there are also many valid concerns worth mentioning:

I would not support sudo or the Omni blanketly supporting this effort without mentioning the problematic aspects.

Anyone participating in either of these next weekend and want to make
some banners at sudo? Could be an addendum/theme to hack night.
