DESCRIPTION:We start at St. Mary's, where the anti-abortion and anti-gay patriarch 
 Archbishop Cordileone presides; this is a concentration of the Catholic 
 Church's oppressive political agenda and view of women as less than human.  
 We will march from there to Mitchell Brothers Theater, an old and 
 "well-established" strip club where women are objectified, their bodies are 
 sold as commodities, and male entitlement to women's bodies is celebrated.  
 Between the pope and pornographer, there is no fundamental difference!  
 Both reduce women to objects, and we will be there to say loudly and 
 defiantly, we CAN and MUST do better than a world where half of humanity is 
 systematically used and abused just because they were born female.  Stop 
 the war on women!\n\nStand up - Speak out - Protest - March!\n\n• End 
 Pornography and Patriarchy: The Enslavement & Degradation of Women! \n• 
 Abortion on Demand and Without Apology! \n• Fight for the Liberation of 
 Women All Over the World!\n\nAbortion rights are in a state of emergency! 
 203 new restrictions to abortion were passed in the last three years. Five 
 states have only one abortion clinic left. Anti-woman bigots harass women 
 at abortion clinics across the country. 97% of rural counties have no 
 abortion providers. Upcoming court rulings threaten to close dozens more 
 clinics nation-wide. Forcing women to have children against their will is a 
 form of enslavement! \n\nMeanwhile, women are slammed backwards in every 
 realm: from the mainstreaming of violent and degrading pornography to the 
 global epidemic of rape, from a culture that celebrates pimping to the 
 shaming of women who choose to have sex, and from the sexual enslavement of 
 millions of women and girls in the sex industry to the widespread 
 celebration of Pope Francis while he has changed nothing of church doctrine 
 that enslaves and humiliates women and LGBT people. \n\nTake to the streets 
 this International Women's Day. Through our public resistance we will 
 expose the illegitimacy of this whole war on women and put the woman-haters 
 on notice that we will not sit silently by. We will express our outrage and 
 bring alive a culture of defiance and liberation. We will wake up and rally 
 forth many thousands more, refusing to stop until we win. \n\nThe future of 
 women is at stake. Which side are YOU on? \n
