Every Int'l Women's Day since 2000, women in 60 countries have taken part in Global Women's Strike actions on or around March 8 demanding that governments INVEST IN CARING NOT KILLING. A LIVING WAGE FOR ALL OUR WORK, PAY EQUITY IN THE GLOBAL MARKET!
in LA, gather at downtown Federal Bldg. Hear women, youth & men speak out about efforts to get welfare & other payment for caring work, including the justice work of mothers; pay equity; youth & family members opposing military recruitment in schools, and more. From Iraq to Haiti to Venezuela NO to US war, occupation, rape & other torture and to destabilization anywhere!
March to Twin Towers jail (truck for elders, children & ppl with disabilities). Women's Aware to honor Mumia Abu Jamal. Speak out and make noise against the Criminalization of Survival! No more jails; no three strikes; money for mothers & communities, not Guantanamos and war!
Coordinated by the Global Women's Strike/LA.
