Trump's landslide of Executive Orders has made it clear that his goal is making attacks on women and immigrants the priority of his administration. With the specter of a right-wing Supreme Court and attacks on Planned Parenthood, Roe v. Wade and trans rights there have been calls for strikes and other actions on International Women's Day (March 8th) to push back against Trump from the grassroots. But the attacks on womens' rights are not alone.
Trump's plan to increase deportations en masse pose an existential threat to undocumented immigrants in the US. The early battles of resistance to prevent these attacks on women and immigrants will play a key role in the defeat of Trump's policies.
Come join us for a International Women's Day forum with speakers focused on defeating Trump's attacks on women and immigrants by pointing towards mass strike and boycott action on May 1st throughout the country. We must stand together united in action as working people in order to beat Trump. An injury to one is an injury to all!
Speakers will include Boston Socialist Alternative, Boston Democratic Socialists of America and others TBA
