With the theme “No to Austerity, Poverty, Prisons and War – A Living Wage for Mothers and Other Caregivers”, participants will gather for the 16th annual International Women’s Day Celebration on Saturday March 7th, from Noon-3pm at Los Angeles Alliance for a New Economy (LAANE), 464 Lucas Ave, LA 90017.
As part of a global effort, the event will honor the fundamental work of mothers and other caregivers in the home, on the land and in the community. The event will bring together unwaged caregivers with low-waged workers who are campaigning to raise the minimum wage to /hour. Those honored or remembered will range from full time moms and housewives, to victims of the Grim Sleeper, Juarez murders and police violence, to campaigners against the criminalization of survival and for economic and environmental justice.
All welcome! Children’s Activities, Concert, Food, Community info & resource tables.
