Women are justifiably furious. And all this rage has to be directed at something.<\/p>\n<p>South By Southwest is the latest convenient target. &#8220;Advertising and media leaders, especially women and women of color, are calling for people and brands to withdraw from Texas-based events like <a href=\"http:\/\/sxsw.com\">SXSW<\/a>,&#8221; according to <a href=\"https:\/\/adage.com\/article\/digital-marketing-ad-tech-news\/sxsw-could-face-boycotts-wake-texas-abortion-bill\/2362856\"><em>Ad Age<\/em><\/a>.

I can\u2019t tell my brand clients to activate there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Why is that? Will the anti-choice fascists be in attendance next March in downtown Austin? No. Will the boycott hurt them somehow? No.<\/p>\n<p>Because there is a real need to do something, and a desire to point a finger at someone, &#8220;Texas&#8221; is now the enemy. Not the Texas GOP and its cretins inside the Capitol building. Just Texas. The fact that Texas is a state with 29M people in it, incredibly diverse, increasingly urban, and one of the largest economic engines in the world, is not part of the discussion today.<\/p>\n<p>The idea that Texas is not the enemy is also nowhere to be found.<\/p>\n<h2>Do Something Positive to Help<\/h2>\n<p>Dallas-based Match Group, which owns dating app brands such as Tinder and OKCupid, announced Thursday it will set up a fund to support employees impacted by the law. Bumble made a similar move. <strong>These are positive actions that will help people.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-newsletter-16\">\u201cAll too often, these situations devolve into no-win possible for women,\u201d Bobbie Carlton, the founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/innovationwomen.com\/\">Innovation Women<\/a>, says. \u201cThe stages we need in order to voice our concerns are the ones we\u2019re forced to turn away from because someone politicized our right to make our own decisions about our bodies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Instead of boycotting South By, why not use the event as an opportunity to sound off on the issues? The weight of your voice will be amplified instead of just missing.<\/p>\n<h2>Fight the Power, Not Each Other<\/h2>\n<p>Did you know that every city in Texas except Fort Worth is dominated by Democrats? Did you know that Joe Biden lost to Don Trump in 2020 in Texas by just 630K votes (out more than 11 million votes cast)? The state of Texas, like every state in the nation, is purple.<\/p>\n<p>To help elect Democrats in Texas and restore decency and law, are you willing and able to help Beto O&#8217;Rourke <a href=\"https:\/\/poweredxpeople.org\/\">register 3M new Texas voters<\/a>?

Why not?<\/p>\n<p>Does your company have a policy in place to protect women and men in Texas who provide aid to a person who needs an abortion? Are <em>you<\/em> willing to provide such aid?

I am asking myself these questions and the answer is yes.<\/p>\n<p>The moves by Texas state legislators and other far-right American radicals are going to keep coming until they&#8217;re removed from office and public life. So, my patience for symbolic gestures is long gone. The people who did this all have names, offices, places to stay in Austin, and homes in some other Texas community. Who they are is no secret.
