description:
Feminist movements and the Women's March have ignited resistance, internationally, that demand justice and liberation for all women. On International Women's Day, women and femmes will enact "A Day Without a Woman" and other strikes, a international call to action!
HOW:
MIAMI intends to bring that same energy and resistance to our streets! On International Women's Day we are taking the streets of Miami!
WHO:
We are in solidarity and partnership with the International Women's Strike whose platform states:
"The International Women’s Strike on March 8th, 2017 is an international day of action, planned and organized by women in more than 30 different countries.
In the spirit of solidarity and internationalism, in the United States March 8th will be a day of action organized by and for women who have been marginalized and silenced by decades of neoliberalism directed towards working women, women of color, Native women, disabled women, immigrant women, Muslim women, lesbian, queer and trans women.
March 8th will be the beginning of a new international feminist movement that organizes resistance not just against Trump and his misogynist policies, but also against the conditions that produced Trump, namely the decades long economic inequality, racial and sexual violence, and imperial wars abroad.
We celebrate the diversity of the many social groups that have come together for the International Women’s Strike. We come from many political traditions but are united around the following
common principles.
We are the Miami Femmes Coalition, Peace, Justice, and Sustainability, and other local organizations in Miami Dade County coming together to protest!
WHAT:
Our demands:
- Miami-Dade to be Declared a Sanctuary County
- Environmental Justice
- Reproductive Justice
- End to Gender Violence
- Labor Rights
- Full Social Provisioning
- Anti-Racist, Anti-Imperialist Feminism
- Racial Justice
WE NEED AT LEAST 1,000 FOLXS TO ATTEND THIS EVENT!!
