DESCRIPTION:A Call from the Global Women's strike to grassroots women, young people and 
 men. Picket and Speakout at Bechtel Corporation against profiteering in war 
 and water.  \n\nWomen, the first carers and the poorest of the poor 
 everywhere, struggle to make up for the devastation, the loss of benefits, 
 healthcare, education -- cut or privatized for war.  We are the hidden 
 backbone of the anti-war activism.  However governments justify war,  women 
 point to the suffering and the tragic loss of lives, in whatever country, 
 of whatever race or religion.  Women chant: Every casualty, every 
 collateral damage, Some mothers daughter, some mother's.'  No wonder even 
 more women than men\noppose war.  \n\nOur survival, in Iraq or in the US, 
 is not their economic priority, so women's survival work is in invisible. 
 \n\nWomen do 2/3 of the worlds work, mostly unwaged caring and agricultural 
 work.  We and our children pay most for war and weapons.  We are 70% of 
 victims of armed conflict, 80% of refugees and displaced people.  500,000 
 children have died in Iraq as a result of sanctions. 1.5 million infants 
 die from malnutrition each year. \n\n$900+ billion is spont on military 
 budgets, over half by the US alone.  \n\nWAR is the priority for which 
 we're all doing without.  Wome say: No War -- Invest in Caring Not 
 Killing.\n\nFor more information call 415-626-4114. Email:
