DESCRIPTION:International Women's Day: Womxn Act for Climate Justice\n\nJoin us for an 
 amazing speaker line-up of Indigenous, WOC, and other feminist activists 
 fighting for climate justice on behalf of our Earth Mother and all her 
 children, as we all face \nthe existential crisis of the worsening climate 
 emergency.\n\nMonday, March 8, 2021 @ 10:30am PST USA (1:30pm EST USA / 
 7:30 PM Europe)\n\nRegister here: 
 https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/1816136055431/WN_JWtw3YUOQci66IFWAghLZA\n\nPlease 
 check your own time zone to coordinate. Timing is always a challenge on 
 these international calls, and we chose a time that worked as best as 
 possible for our global community.\n\n\nWomxn worldwide are continuing to 
 call for a different path forward in 2021 and beyond as we reweave and 
 forge a path onward in the midst of multiple crises, with global 
 communities confronting the COVID-19 pandemic and intensified climate 
 chaos, racism, gender and economic inequity, Indigenous rights violations, 
 environmental degradation, and much more.\n\nPlease be welcome to join us 
 on International Women’s Day, March 8th for the global event Womxn Act 
 for Climate Justice, a dynamic international network wide event 
 highlighting the struggles and solutions of womxn climate leaders in the 
 WECAN network. During the interactive gathering, we look forward to sharing 
 with you inspiring updates from WECAN regional coordinators and allies, as 
 well as exploring some of our plans and vision for 2021 and how you can be 
 involved.\n\nWe are committed and steadfast in our collective and ceaseless 
 fight for Indigenous rights, Black liberation, gender equity, rights of 
 nature, true democracies, climate justice, and the protection of this 
 planet we hold so dear. We are inspired by womxn and feminists who are 
 leading resistance movements, building climate solutions, and re-imagining 
 a future grounded in justice and care globally. The small window of 
 opportunity for acting on the climate crisis is already upon us— now is 
 the time for systemic change and building the just and healthy world we 
 seek.\n\nWhy Womxn? for this event we chose to use the written word Womxn, 
 which has roots in intersectional feminism, to uplift the varied and 
 intersectional experiences of womxnhood globally. This is an inclusive 
 space across identities and the gender 
 spectrum.\n\nhttps://www.wecaninternational.org/\n\n\nSPEAKERS:\n\n-- Neema
