*Toward Our Liberation: Women Struggle for Social and Economic Justice!*

On International Women's Day we raise our fists in solidarity with women
struggling for emancipation. We we stand united in defense of women's
rights, for genuine liberation for all women. We rally as a demonstration
of our collective resistance against colonization, imperialist plunder, and
the violence, oppression and exploitation of patriarchy and capitalism.

Women around the world are at the forefront of struggles for emancipation
that ultimately seek to end capitalism, patriarchy, exploitation, and
greed.  We struggle to build a society based on collaboration, cooperation,
self-determination, the fulfillment of human potential, and the survival of
our planet.  Join us as we raise our voices for liberation and justice for
all women!

*We stand in solidarity with all women who struggle for emancipation!*



*Hands off women's bodies and women's lives!*



*Justice for all missing and murdered women!*



*Resist the plunder of our lands!*



*Free all political prisoners!*



*Long Live International Solidarity!*
