International Women’s Day has historically been a day of protest and action by working women all over the world. Join us on March 8th for an indoor rally to celebrate all those who have been leading the fight for women's rights and to play a part in building an all-inclusive women's rights movement!
This event is organized by and for all women who have been marginalized and silenced, including working women, women of color, Native women, disabled women, immigrant women, Muslim women, lesbian, queer and trans women, and for all those who wish to fight against the oppression of women.
