March 8: Women strike!

http://www.workers.org/

An International Women’s Strike has been called for March 8, International Women’s Day, by women in more than 50 countries. The call states that the day of action is specifically “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.”

Organizers announce this March 8 as 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.” (womenstrikeus.org)

March 8 has been identified as International Women’s Day since 1910. This emerging and exciting new radicalization has deep roots. http://www.workers.org/
