DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Mothers’ Day with WORD\nHONOR WOMEN in the STRUGGLE 
 \n\nHonorees: \nLara Kiswani; Executive Dir. of Arab Resource Organizing 
 Center; Longtime activist in the Palestine Struggle \nMaile Hampton; 
 Sacramento ANSWER and BlackLivesMatter activist \nNathalie Hrizi; Public 
 School Teacher, single mother and community organizer\n\nSaturday May 9, 
 4pm\n2969 Mission St, SF \n\nMay is a month to honor, to reflect, and to 
 take action! We honor workers on May Day and we honor mothers on Mothers' 
 Day. Let us not forget that many mothers are also workers, and both women 
 and workers alike have been and continue to be powerful forces in the 
 struggle for justice. Both holidays have their roots in the struggle for 
 justice, and this legacy continues today. One of the earliest mothers' days 
 was organized around improved sanitation in 1872, and while the issues may 
 have changed with time, the current struggles for a livable wage, 
 affordable housing, and healthcare maintain the same dedication to rights 
 and justice. Similarly, while the focus of May Day actions has varied 
 throughout the years, a continuous dedication to social and economic 
 justice has remained. This year, organizers are focusing particular 
 attention on police terrorism and police violence in communities of 
 color. \n\nOn Saturday, May 9th, at 4pm at 2969 Mission Street, we will be 
 hosting a forum to honor the critical role that women have played and 
 continue to play in the struggle.  WORD will honor Lara Kiswani, Maile 
 Hampton and Nathalie Hrizi—as well as all mothers and women attendee.
