March 8 NYC begins a new international feminist movement.
"In the spirit of solidarity and internationalism, in the United States March 8th Is a day of action organized by and for women who have been marginalized and silenced by decades of neoliberalism directed towards working women, women of color, Native women, disable women, immigrant women, Muslim women, lesbian, queer and trans women.
March 8th is the beginning of a new international feminist movement that organizes resistance not just against Trump and his misogynist policies, but also against the conditions that produced Trump, namely the decades long economic inequality, racial and sexual violence, and imperial wars abroad.
We celebrate the diversity of the many social groups that have come together for the International Women's Strike. We come from many political traditions but are united around the following common principles: An end to gender violence, especially towards working women, and women of color. Reproductive justice For All. labor rights, and environmental justice for all. Full social provisioning. An anti-racist, anti-imperialist, all-inclusive feminism."
