DESCRIPTION:International Women’s Day\nThroughout the history of class society, women 
 have been oppressed.  However, as long as women have been oppressed, there 
 has been vibrant struggle to combat this oppression.  Through struggle, 
 women have won the right to equal pay, to vote, to abortion and birth 
 control and more.  They have engaged in fierce labor struggles, anti-racist 
 struggles and the fight for same-sex marriage.  Join us for a discussion on 
 the role of women in the fight for socialism.\n\nSF Chronicle owners 
 threaten layoffs, closure\nClass warfare intensifies as capitalist crisis 
 widens\nIn another blow to U.S. newspaper workers, the San Francisco 
 Chronicle’s parent company, Hearst Corp., announced Feb. 25 that if it 
 does not turn around an estimated $50 million in losses through significant 
 job cuts and other measures, it would seek a buyer within a few weeks. If 
 that is unsuccessful, Hearst says it will shut down the paper.\n\nThe 
 sudden announcement and dire prediction by Hearst of possible eminent sale 
 and/or closure is intended to put the unions on the defensive.  As the 
 capitalist crisis deepens, direct attacks against newspaper workers and 
 others will intensify. With every new corporate and government 
 announcement, it becomes clearer that the corporate owners who created the 
 crisis are seeking to protect profits by directly attacking workers. Come 
 hear a report by a long-time Chronicle worker on the struggle of local and 
 national newspaper workers to hold onto their jobs.\n\nMarch 21: Why 
 we’re marching on the Pentagon\nThe people of the United States want 
 change. We are sick and tired of wars of aggression waged abroad under 
 false slogans of “national security.” These are wars that reap massive 
 profits for corporate weapons-makers with the promise of winning control 
 over the vast oil and natural gas reserves in the Middle East and Central 
 Asia. There will be a presentation on the organizing taking place around 
 the country to get everyone out in the streets on March 21.\n\n
