The demonstration is sponsored by International Working Women’s Coalition 2012

Can We Live! Campaign’s purpose and program

The Can We Live! Campaign is a struggle-oriented program to bring together and to organize initiatives on economic and political issues, not just during March — International Working Women’s Month — but year round.  Its 10-point program asks the fundamental question:

Can We Live when the 1% deprives us of:

1.  Access to healthy, toxic-free food

2.  Jobs, not jails—Promote the right to organize; Defend public workers, a livable wage and/or guaranteed income and Social Security; end discrimination based on age, nationality, disability; Demand pay equity; cancel credit card and student debt

3.  Healthcare for all—Demand reproductive justice; hands off Medicare and Medicaid; restore and expand all social programs

4.  Free quality education from the cradle to the grave

5.  Housing as a human right—No foreclosures, evictions, and utility shutoffs; end homelessness

6.  A clean environment

7.  Legalization, not deportation—Unite families; end Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids

8. No domestic and state violence against WOMEN—Stop sexual exploitation, trafficking and police brutality; restore safe houses

9.  No imperialist war—Stop all violence against WOMEN in the military and in occupied lands; bring the troops home

10.  Full rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people
