Punk, Protest, and Rebellion: The Spirit of March

March isn’t just about daffodils and the first whispers of spring—it’s a month steeped in history, rebellion, and the fight for justice. From International Women’s Day to historical uprisings and protests, March embodies the punk spirit of standing up, speaking out, and refusing to conform. If you’ve ever felt the fire of rebellion burning in your gut, this month is a reminder that change is always possible.

March: A Month of Resistance

Throughout history, March has been a month of upheaval and defiance.

  • International Women’s Day (March 8th) – A global day celebrating women’s achievements and calling out inequality. The fight for equal rights is far from over, and every voice matters.

  • The Poll Tax Riots (March 31st, 1990) – A momentous uprising against unfair taxation in the UK, proving that collective resistance can make a difference.

  • Anti-war and civil rights movements – Many key protests throughout history have taken place in March, cementing its reputation as a month of action.

What Punk and Protest Have in Common

Punk and protest share the same DNA—both reject the status quo, demand change, and thrive on authenticity. Whether through music, art, or street activism, punk has always been a vehicle for speaking truth to power. March is the perfect time to channel that energy into something meaningful.

Ways to embody the punk spirit this month:

  • Challenge outdated systems—whether that’s through activism, supporting grassroots movements, or using your voice online.

  • Celebrate alternative culture—punk fashion, DIY ethos, and unapologetic self-expression have always been forms of rebellion.

  • Educate yourself—dive into the history of movements that have shaped our world and find ways to contribute.
