DESCRIPTION:CODEPINK Women for Peace, Golden Gate Chapter\n\nCELEBRATE  INTERNATIONAL

 Watch, US Labor Against the War, the women's movement, the single payer

 International Women's Day, this is a fitting tribute to local women who 
 deserve recognition," said Cynthia Papermaster of CODEPINK.\n\nPeace 
 Heroine Sheila Goldmacher said, “I have been a political activist all my 
 life starting at 18 when I worked in Adlai Stevenson's campaign for the 
 presidency.  My last demo was at the B of A this past week on Telegraph and 
 Durant...Very satisfying.”\n\n2011 Peace Heroines include Gene Bernardi,
