 Violence, unjust hierarchies, authoritarianism, disregard for human life and the environment. What do these all have in common? They're all used to defend the interests of the ruling class and those in power, and they're all essential parts of patriarchy, white supremacy, and militarism. For over a century, feminists have been struggling against these injustices, and today, we're continuing that legacy. International Women's Day, or IWD, was created to challenge these systems of domination, exploitation, and violence. IWD actually began as activism against the war economy, with women taking to the streets to call for socialism. We must understand that life under militarism and patriarchy is not sustainable for us, nor for the environment. We're seeing a tragic war in Ukraine and watching in real time as the U.S. gears up for a war with China. As the people and the planet suffer from pollution, poverty, and underinvestment, we see our government funneling more and more of our resources to fund death instead of life. As women and as feminists, now is the time to come together and take a stand on this IWD to put an end to these injustices and the inhumanity that we're seeing constantly. Now, to the exciting part, how can you get involved this IWD? Code Pink and its global partners invite all activists and organizations to join us in our global call for diplomacy, peace, cooperation, and an end to war. On our website shown right here, we have created an IWD toolkit for folks to learn ways to take to the streets for hashtag IWD and war. We have also created a space for artists to speak to the cost of war, where they can share stories, art, videos that address these impacts of war. Finally, Code Pink and its partners will be hosting a series of webinars March 8th, where we will hear from significant feminist voices for peace. You can RSVP at this link right here, or please get in touch with us over at infoatcodepink.org if you have any more questions on how to engage. Whatever you do, wherever you are, share it online with the hashtag IWD and war. See you then.
