March 8 is International Working Women’s Day, and though its revolutionary history is typically overlooked, it was inspired by the struggles of working-class women–and declared by socialist women as part of the fight for working-class self-emancipation.
In 2017, a committee of activists began organizing the International Women’s Strike (https://www.womenstrikeus.org/) around demands including an end to gender violence, reproductive justice for all, labor rights, full social provisioning, an antiracist and anti-imperialist feminism, and environmental justice for all.
Join us as we celebrate the history of International Women’s Day and strategize about how to fight for women’s rights today!
