DESCRIPTION:Following the January 21st Women’s March against Trump, the largest 
 single protest in U.S. history, women in over 30 different countries have 
 called for an International Women’s Strike -- a Day Without A Woman -- on 
 March 8th, 2017, International Women’s Day.\n\nMarch 8th will be a day of 
 action organized by and for women who have been marginalized and silenced 
 by decades of neoliberalism, and who are further threatened by Trump and 
 his misogynist, racist policies. We call for solidarity with trans and 
 queer people, Muslims, immigrants, people of color, sex workers, survivors 
 of violence, currently and formerly incarcerated people, and oppressed 
 people everywhere. We invite people of all genders to join in.\n\nWe demand 
 an end to gender violence, and that rapists and sexual harassers be held 
 accountable. We demand an end to ICE raids and deportations in our 
 communities. We demand an end to police brutality. We demand free 
 healthcare for all, including full access to reproductive and 
 gender-affirming care. We demand free, community-centered child care and 
 elder care. We demand full and free access to education. We demand 
 affordable housing and a living wage.\n\nAgainst the open white 
 supremacists in the current government and the far right they have given 
 confidence to, we stand for an uncompromising anti-racist and 
 anti-imperialist feminism. This means that movements such as Black Lives 
 Matter, the struggle against police brutality and mass incarceration, the 
 movement against the Dakota Access Pipeline, the demand for open borders 
 and for immigrant rights and for the decolonization of Palestine are for us 
 the beating heart of this new feminist movement. We want to dismantle all 
 walls, from prison walls to border walls, from Mexico to Palestine. \n\nOn 
 March 8th, we call on people of all genders to pledge to go on strike, to 
 refuse work and school, and to join us in building a new international 
 feminist movement that fights not only against Trump, but against the 
 conditions that produced Trump -- racial and sexual violence, environmental 
 destruction, imperial wars abroad, and an economic system that puts profit 
 before people. The only way we can move forward is together.\n\nSchedule:
