DESCRIPTION:A call from the Global Women's Strike to grassroots women, young people and 
 men.  Women Say No War -- Invest in Caring, Not Killing\n\nCome to our 
 regular weekly Picket & Speakout at Bechtel Corporation to protest their 
 profiteering off water & war.  \n\nWomen, the first carers and the poorest 
 of the poor everywhere, struggle to make up for the devastation, the loss 
 of benefits, healthcare, education -- cut or privatized to pay for war.  We 
 are thehidden backbone of anti-war activism.  However governments justify 
 war, women point to the suffering and the tragic loss of lives, in whatever 
 country, of whtever race or religion.  women chant: Every casualty, every 
 collateral damage, some mother's daughter, some mother's son.  No wonder 
 more women than men oppose war. \n\nOur survival, in Iraq  or in the US is 
 not their economic priority, so women's survival work is invisible.  Women 
 do 2/3 of the world's work, mostly unwaged caring and agricultural work.  
 We are 70% of victims of armed conflict, 80% of refugees and displaced 
 people.  500,00 children died in Iraq as a result of sanctions.  1.5 
 million infants die from malnutrition each year.  \n\n$900 billion is spent 
 on military budgets, over half by the US alone.  Yet $80 bilion would rid 
 us all of the world's worst poverty.  \n
