1:30 PM Celebration for Women’s Strength & Resistance
In honor of the first women strikers in 1909, we will be commemorating the 105th Anniversary of International Working Women’s Day on March 8th. Join us as we uphold the Legacy and Power of Women’s resistance here and abroad!
At the forefront of global resistance against increasing violence and imperialism are women of color. Here in the United States, the state has continued to perpetuate violence against its own people, specifically people of color. Women in the U.S. will continue to be in the forefront of many battles — opposing U.S. wars and occupations while demanding funding for human needs, defending collective bargaining in their unions, demanding wages that allow their families to keep up with the cost of living, stopping foreclosures so they can stay in their homes, demanding contraceptives and other free preventive health care, and fighting for basic rights to affordable education, quality health care and housing, and good-paying jobs. Join us as we March to demand an end to gentrification, state violence, and militarization!
We will also have a cultural celebration after the march to remember and lift up all the women and Trans women who have come before us in the struggle. We will celebrate their legacies they have left behind and honor the women and Trans women who are fighting in the forefront today for self-determination, freedom, and liberation.
Bring your signs, banners, and noisemakers and march with us!
