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
