On Saturday, thousands of women from across 16 cities in Québec including Montréal formed a human chain to protest Trump and Elon Musk.
Protesters chanted “shame on you” on the doorsteps of the U.S. Consulate. It was one of more than a dozen demonstrations held across Quebec to mark International Women’s Day and denounce the American government’s attacks on women’s rights and Canada’s sovereignty.

On Saturday, thousands of women from across 16 cities in Québec including Montréal formed a human chain to protest Trump and Elon Musk. Protesters chanted “shame on you” on the doorsteps of the U.S. Consulate. It was one of more than a dozen demonstrations held across Quebec to mark International Women's Day and denounce the American government’s attacks on women's rights and Canada'’s sovereignty. In Montreal, many wore red, symbolic of both blood and love. Some donned signs displaying the Canadian maple leaf. A few wore robes reminiscent of The Handmaid's Tale, a dystopian novel in which women are subjugated by the governing regime. Others carried signs comparing U.S. President Donald Trump's administration to that of Nazi Germany. Protesters locked arms as eight minutes of silence was observed. In a message addressed to Trump, Vice-President JD Vance and Trump ally Elon Musk, protest organizer Anais Barbeau-Lavalette denounced the U.S. administration. "You are not kings. We are not handmaids,” she said. Joe Bongiorno, The Canadian Press

- Image of Lepa Radic before she was hung by Nazis, captioned:
"On #WomensDay celebrate #Antifascist fighters like Lepa Radic. Born in 1925 in Bosanska Gradiska, Bosnia, she was executed by Nazis at age 17. Nazis offered her a deal - life spared if she would snitch on her comrades. She replied "My comrades will reveal themselves when they avenge me".

So much fun & sun & FLINTA friends at the Purple Ride on Saturday: a queer feminist bike demo through Berlin-Kreuzberg. Being loud and taking back the streets together to protest against patriarchal structures in all areas of life - from bodily autonomy to transport policy - felt empowering.
