WOMEN UNITE TO FIGHT BACK! International Women's Day STRIKE & MARCH - March 8th STRIKE! Call out sick, don't go to school, don't shop.
Rally 3 pm - Join us for an inclusive and exciting rally that will highlight important issues facing women including racism, sexism, anti-LGBTQ bigotry, and workers and immigrant rights. Our solidarity is a powerful weapon against Trump’s anti-people agenda. Enjoy music, food, poetry and speeches. We encourage noon day rallies and feeder marches.
Following our rally, we will march to the women's jail at Fallsway and Eager Street to show our support for our incarcerated sisters and demand an end to the prison industrial complex and then to Douglas Homes where we will be welcomed by housing organizers who are demanding an end to the privatization of public housing. We will conclude at McKeldin Square, Light & Pratt Street @ 6 p.m.
Women, including trans women, and gender non-comforming folks will be leading this March. Everyone welcome! There will be support vans for anyone unable to walk the route, to allow the fullest participation.
