Madison, March 8: A Day Without A Woman- General Strike

We will unite in a Day Without A Woman on March 8th. If you are able, take the day off of both paid and unpaid labor to participate and come down to the state capitol. If you cannot take the day, just come during your lunch hour for our noon rally. We have the opportunity to continue our show of force and unite in large numbers to declare our support of women and respect for their contributions. Wear Red in solidarity with our struggle and patronize women-owned businesses that day.

8:45am– A morning of events focused on girls. Bring your daughters, granddaughters, and nieces to the state capitol to learn about women in government and gender equity. For more information: https://www.facebook.com/events/194412827708625/
