Ladydrawers
Our recent investigations into the legislative roots of cultural misogyny – and the history of women’s rights struggles to right them – have been very revealing. But there are modern repercussions, too, and today’s strip launches a new year-long look at contemporary gender and economic justice around the world. A collaboration with labor reporter Sarah Jaffe, comics artist Delia Jean and Anne Elizabeth Moore, “Being of Service” explains what’s behind the nationwide food service worker protests.
As always, you can catch all the previous strips here. If you’re nearby, come see our exhibition “SEX. MONEY. RACE. GENDER. The Ladydrawers (of Chicago, Ill.) at the A+D Gallery.” And on July 18th, Sarah Jaffe and Delia Jean will copresent a free workshop for food-service workers in the gallery. We’d love to see you there!

An urgent appeal for your support: 7 Days to raise $41,000
Truthout relies on individual donations to publish independent journalism, free from political and corporate influence. In fact, we’re almost entirely funded by readers like you.
Unfortunately, donations are down. At a moment when independent journalism is urgently needed, we are struggling to meet our operational costs due to increasing political censorship.
Truthout may end this month in the red without additional help, so we’ve launched a fundraiser. We have 7 days to hit our $41,000 goal. Please make a tax-deductible one-time or monthly donation if you can.
