Mujeres Marcharan International Women’s Day March
“Join us as we take the streets on March 10th to hold the 34th annual SAIWD March and Rally!
Our theme this year is peace through liberation and liberation through struggle. This theme calls attention to the solidarity between the struggle against oppression particularly in our chant "From Palestine to Mexico, all the walls have got to go".
Planning meeting are currently ongoing. DM us to get involved!
International Women's Day means acknowledging the root cause of women's oppression-class society-and its centrality to the system that oppresses and exploits our class today-capitalism and the connectivity between these struggles. IWD was originally organized by socialists and women revolutionaries fighting for a better world because they recognized that without undoing and replacing capitalism we could not do away with women's oppression.
The fight for public education, abortion and reproductive rights, childcare, maternity leave, jobs, health care, immigrant rights, protecting the planet, housing, and the end of police brutality and racism are all women's issues. It is through fighting these issues that we find peace and liberation.”
Period Palooza
“Join us as we mark our first annual celebration of all things P E R I O D S! This event is more than just a market but rather a community event meant to raise awareness to the topic of period poverty and stop the stigma surrounding menstruation. We encourage everyone to please bring in a menstrual product/monetary donation as we are in the process of raising funds to sponsor 4 organizations with period products for a whole year!
This event is family friendly and will include food vendors, coffee vendors, a photo op, merchandise table, an art installation, music, activity tables, resources tables, and so much more!”
