Actor and activist, Mark Ruffalo, is no stranger to speaking his mind on the issues he cares about.  The Golden Globe award winning performer has spoken out about several topics over the years, such as environmentalism issues, LGBT issues, and feminism.  Notably, Mark has been an excellent example of a male ally to the feminist cause!  In interviews with his female costars, he has defended them against sexist questions and instead highlighted how banal the questioning towards women can be.  Going further, Mark has used his celebrity platform to speak out on women's health issues, voice his support for a woman's right to choose, and uplifts women by pushing for more representation in the TV and film industry.  He even supported and defended "Black Widow" director Joss Whedon's female representation in the movie, "I think that what people might really be upset about is the fact that we need more superhuman women," he wrote, "The guys can do anything, they can have love affairs, they can be weak or strong and nobody raises an eyebrow. But when we do that with a woman, because there are so few storylines for women, we become hyper-critical of every single move that we make because there’s not much else to compare it to." Allies are extremely important to the feminist movement, and we are so inspired by Mark Ruffalo's bravery to stand up for what he believes in!   .

This Unseen Woman is about the disrespect women are faced with when they are out with men. This was shared six years ago. It is 2023 and women are still facing most of the issues outlined here. We must act to move the gender equality needle. We must #Act4SDGs. #ShadesofUs #GlobalGoals

On Feminist Futures   As feminists endure ongoing and new challenges to their mission to achieve gender equality, exhibition, “Acts of Resistance: Photography, Feminisms and the Art of Protest” at the South London Gallery is a formidable reminder of how the arts remain a potent medium in activism. Like the early feminist movements, who turned to the arts to dismantle their sites of oppression - the kitchen, the bedroom, their bodies and the public domain - the international women and non-binary artists featured demonstrate that subversive acts of creativity are still essential to resisting abuses of power. Photographer, Hoda Afshar, for example, whose photographs of Iranian women displaying their plaited hair – a symbol of resistance during the women-led protests in Iran in 2022 – capture the sense of pain, defiance and unity felt in the wake of the death of Kurdish woman Mahsa Amini at the hands of Iran’s morality police. Importantly, the profound works in this exhibition highlight how the battlegrounds for liberation must be approached through a pluralistic and intersectional lens for us to claim true equality and representation. To achieve equal futures, it is essential that intersectional feminist movements are supported by brands and institutions, through amplifying the voices of the marginalised and taking a public stance against inequality in its myriad of forms.

Intersectionality is a way to understand how different aspects of a person’s identity, such as race, gender, and economic status, combine to create unique experiences of discrimination or privilege. For African American women in the trucking industry, this means facing challenges that are distinct from those experienced by their male or non-Black colleagues. Recognizing these unique challenges allows us to advocate more effectively for equity and inclusion. Let's work together to create a more inclusive industry! 🌍🤝 👉 Follow us for more insights on intersectionality and the trucking industry!
