The voices of women must be heard 11AM Gather at the park on 4th St near Shatto Place, LA 90020 March down Wilshire to Rally in MacArthur Park w/ music, food and children’s activities. All women, youth, men, children welcome. A women-led march. Parking at 6th & Vermont; Metro at Wilshire/Vermont & Alvarado/MacArthur Park WE ARE MOTHERS OF DIFFERENT RACES, ages, passports, incomes, sexual preferences and occupations. Many of us work a double and triple day of waged work on top of our unwaged work as mothers. Those of us who are not biological mothers do a lot of mothering too, sometimes for children and also for friends, colleagues, family, neighbors and others in the community. The March will make this work visible also. MOTHERS MAKE THE WORLD GO ROUND, but we get neither recognition norresources, only blame when things go wrong. The work that mothers contribute to society entitles us to every support, including financial OUR CHILDREN COUNT! The relationship between mothers and children is not viewed by policy makers as vital, making it easier for children to be taken from mothers and placed with strangers. And, caring for children is not valued as work by those who govern, but any job outside the home is. Our children deserve loving care, we will not tolerate them being treated as obstacles that get in the way of something more important! THE SURVIVAL OF THE HUMAN RACE DEPENDS ON MOTHERS. Fathers and other male caregivers who support mothers will join the march. Planning Group thus far and growing: Alexandria House, Black Coalition Fighting Back Serial Murders, California Partnership, DCFS Give Us Back Our Children, Every Mother Is a Working Mother Network, Haiti Vigil, Mujeres de Maiz, South Central Farm, Global Women’s Strike/LA, Women of Color in the GWS.
