DESCRIPTION:Women, come say why you oppose Bush's "endless war" and welfare 'reform'.  
 Men, come show your support. \n\nFrom October 2001 throught March 2002, 
 many  of you came to our regular women's anti-war protest and speakout at 
 50 California outside CNN to protest war propaganda and censorship 
 (Censored News Network).  We are now moving our women's action to the 
 Welfare department to bring attention to and press for action on welfare 
 'reform' reauthorization which has rapidly moved through Congress and is in 
 the Senate.  Now is the time for us to have an impact!\n\nWelfare "reform" 
 has had a devastating impact on single mothers, our families and our 
 communities.  In SF we are seeing the severe consequence of these policies: 
 more mothers and children are homeless, women are being arrested for 
 prostitution and other crimes of (related to) poverty in increasing numbers 
 and there is an increase inviolence against women.  Lesbian mothers are 
 being forced to name the father of their children and are sanctioned off 
 welfareif they don't.  Women are reporting having their children taken by 
 Child Protective Services in indreasing numbers.  This also Gay Pride month 
 and an occasion for lesbian mothers to register our protest against welfare 
 'reform' which discounts lesbian mothers by pushing for marriage and 
 discounts our work as mothers. \n\nWe will focus on gathering signatures on 
 our Every Mother is a Working Mother Network's petition to get mothers' 
 caring work valued in welfare benefits.  We will also launch our new 
 anti-war petition which demands that the money going up in smoke to war and 
 increased military spending should be going to caregivers globally.  
 Society should invest in caring, not killing!\n\nYes to Welfare, No to War! 
 Money going to mothers for raising children is money not going to bomb 
 people around the world. \n\nCoordinated by the Wages for Housework 
 Campaign (WFH), US PROStitutes Collective and Wages Due Lesbians.\n\n\n
