🖤✨ Tourism as Activism: The Power of Sisterhood Sit-In ✨🖤 In a world where change is often sparked from the most unexpected places, we're turning our travel experiences into powerful acts of activism. Welcome to Sisterhood Sit-In, where our love is the protest and our journey is the revolution. Tourism is more than just exploring new places—it's about engaging with communities, understanding histories, and standing in solidarity. With Sisterhood Sit-In, we're not just sightseeing; we're sight-changing. We're rewriting the narrative of travel to amplify Black women's voices and stories, creating spaces where we feel seen, heard, and loved. Our Love is the Protest. This isn't just a slogan—it's our freedom song. It's about embracing our collective strength, celebrating our unity, and manifesting a future where sisterhood is the foundation of our activism. Beginning with our trolley tours in Philly we're taking our love to the sea and sky with adventures that will bring awareness to the issues that matter to us. Every step we take is a step towards justice, empowerment, and transformation. Join us as we travel with intention, protest with passion, and build a sisterhood that transcends borders. Together, we're not just making history—we're shaping the future. 🌍✊🏿 #SisterhoodSitIn #TourismAsActivism #OurLoveIsTheProtest #BlackWomenLead #UnityInAction #TravelWithPurpose

“A growing chorus of leading civil rights groups are issuing travel warnings about visiting Florida amid Gov. Ron DeSantis’ increasingly hostile laws toward women, minorities, immigrants, and the LGBTQ community. The Human Rights Campaign, which is the country’s largest LGBTQ organization, issued an updated travel advisory designed to highlight laws passed by the state’s Republican-led legislature in what the organization called the “most anti-LGBTQ legislative session in history.” In total, six anti-LGBTQ bills have recently been passed in Florida and nearly all signed by DeSantis. The organization, however, stopped short of calling for an all-out ban on travel to the state or a boycott. Instead, the move is designed to shine a light on the state’s growing extremist policies. “The travel advisory outlines the devastating impacts of laws that are hostile to the LGBTQ community, restrict access to reproductive health care, repeal gun safety policies, foment racial prejudice, and attack public education by banning books and censoring curriculum in order that prospective travelers or residents can make the best decisions for themselves and their families,” the organization said in a statement.” Florida under the GOP has become a fascist hotbed of perverted machoism.
