Join GABRIELA USA and the International Women’s Alliance on Saturday, March 11th in commemorating the 108th International Working Women’s Day anniversary in honor of the first women strikers in 1909. Join us as we RISE, RESIST, and UNITE to build our collective Resistance here and abroad!

So far within the first month of Trump’s administration, Trump has issued 12 Executive orders attacking everything from immigrant communities, our Muslim brothers and sisters, to the millions of us who depend on the government for subsidized health care. He’s pushed forward the Dakota Access and Keystone Pipelines against the self-determination of the indigenous peoples of this land, nominated white supremacists, climate deniers, and the super wealthy into his cabinet, and he has exposed the fascist, racist, xenophobic, and misogynist truths of this country.

But people are resisting. From the moment Trump was announced the winner, the people of the US responded immediately with demonstrations on the streets. Students are walking out of the classrooms almost daily, and mass gatherings of people are being convened by different groups to discuss how to resist a Trump presidency.

Let us continue to build our collective resistance and people power and RISE againt Fear, RESIST attacks on our communities, and UNITE for Self-Determination!

*Note* This will be a family friendly march and celebration that will be accessible for children, elders, and people with disability. We will also be organizing our own safety/security team.
