[van-announce] March 8th: International Women's Day March and Rally

[Grassroots Women]

March 8th 2010 International Women's Day

Capitalism in Crisis-Women in Action!

 

The revolution is ours to make. It is our greatest duty. It is our greatest
joy. 

-Nellie Wong 

 

As the inequality and unsustainability of capitalism become ever more
apparent, working class women are mobilizing-to expose and oppose our
exploitation; to support our families and communities through these
turbulent times; to reclaim our proud history of resistance; and to look
forward to a future where we can reach our full potential and our genuine
liberation. 

 

For nearly 100 years, March 8th International Women's Day, has been an
occasion for women around the world to come together, to take to the
streets, to raise our voices, to remember our history and to forge our
future. Here in Vancouver, Grassroots Women has carried on this tradition
for the past 13 years, and we invite all women, children and men to join us
at this year's event.
