DESCRIPTION:Sunday Morning at the Marxist Library\n\nINTERNATIONAL WOMAN’S 
 DAY\nRUSSIAN REVOLUTION BEGINS\n\nThe first Woman’s Day was organized by 
 the Socialist Party in New York in 1909, in remembrance of the 1908 strike 
 of International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union. It was made an annual 
 celebration the following year by the Socialist Second International. On 
 March 8, 1917, the women of Petrograd went on strike with the demand 
 “Bread and Peace.” Within weeks, Tsar Nicholas II was imprisoned. The 
 Russian Revolution had begun. To celebrate, we will gather at our usual 
 time, aided by Norma Harrison.\nWe'll look at the women's movement of the 
 1970s, the successful attempt to empty it of any roots in majestic 
 struggle; to make it an effort to compel the slave labor of women into the 
 9-5 offices as a success story, removing further the opportunity for us all 
 to to share the work to maintain us and to advance our struggles.  
 Consciousness raising stunned us, thrilled us, surprised us, and was 
 snatched from us by the owning class using, again, Their media, schools, 
 churches, jobs.\nOur work is still to take, to re-take our 
 struggle.\nChildren, men, women, join us to sing our song again, together. 
 \nNote: Gene will be out of town and will not be providing donuts and 
 coffee.\n\nSunday, March 8, 2015 - 10:30 am to 12:30 pm\n6501 Telegraph 
 Avenue, Oakland (just North of Alcatraz Ave.)\n\nSeating is limited, so 
 plan to come early. We start promptly.\nFREE - but hat will be passed for 
 donations to NPML\n\nAbout Sunday Morning at the Marxist Library\nA weekly 
 discussion series inspired by our respect for the work of Karl Marx and our 
 belief that his work will remain as important for the class struggles of 
 the future as they have been for the past. \n\nFor info or to subscribe to
