Join us on Saturday, March 13th at 4PM PST as we Uphold the Legacy and Power of Women’s Resistance Here & Abroad! Together, we will be lifting up the internationalist struggles and stories of women workers, human rights defenders and Trans, and Gender Non Conforming communities around the world.
Let us gather together to RISE Up to demand an end to gender based violence against women and TGNC communities, RESIST militarization and displacement, and UNITE for relief, adequate protections. and mental health support for all workers.
Our #IWWD201 Points of Unity are:
- We believe in open borders and rise up against the violences of immigration, forced migration, and displacement which make unwilling detainees and refugees of our communities and rip our families apart.
- We are committed to exposing, fighting and dismantling imperialism, militarism, and state repression-. We echo the calls to Defund the Police, and invest in community-led public safety, which does not seek to silence or control us.
- We are in solidarity with Black, Brown, and Indigenous women from Oakland to Palestine and the Philippines, demanding sovereignty and self-determination for their peoples.
- We support women and TGNC communities who are fighting economic injustice in the face of institutions and governments that value profit and political dominance, even in the midst of a deadly global pandemic, over the health and safety of their people.
- We resist the extractive industries who control our current global economy and know that in order to secure a just and equitable future, we must combat the climate crisis.
