March on the Pentagon is excited to present a live video event for International Working Women’s Day!
After women gained suffrage in Soviet Russia in 1917,
March 8 became a national holiday there. The day was then predominantly
celebrated by socialist movement and communist countries until it was
adopted by the feminist movement around 1967. The United Nations began
celebrating the day in 1975.
Since our beginning, three years ago, March on the
Pentagon (Originally Women’s March on the Pentagon) has been an
internationalist organization in solidarity with all women and others
around the world who fight to resist U.S. Imperialism.
Join MoP’s leadership and invited guests on Saturday,
March 7 from 1 – 4 pm EST as we explore what it means to be
anti-imperialist, pro-peace women in these days of political and social
turmoil, but most of all WAR!
Hear from many inspiring women including Cindy
Sheehan, Madelyn Hoffman, Diane Moxley, Lisa Davis, Mnar Muhawesh, Lucy
Pagoada-Quesada, Randi Nord, the women of FURIE, Sue Ann Martinson, Emma
Fiala, and more on topics like women and war, international solidarity,
local organizing, anti-imperialist political organizing, black
liberation, Israeli colonialism in Palestine, anti-imperialism in Latin
America, anti-imperialism in the Middle East, and more. There will be
opportunities for questions following each live speaker.
