Click on the title to link to a "United For Justice with Peace" (UJP) Website entry for a rally to be held in honor of the 100th Anniversary of the celebration of International Women's Day.
Markin comment:
I am not altogether sure that this is the 100th anniversary (I thought that it was first observed in 1908),but that is neither here nor there. In addition to whatever demands are appropriate on this date around the women question, the economic question and the myriad other concerns we need to address let this one stand out. Obama- Immediate, Unconditional Withdrawal Of All Troops And Mercenaries From Afghanistan And Iraq! That is a demand every women, every girl every man and every boy can, and will, rally around.
P.S.- I checked "Wikipedia" and in their entry for IWD they are using 2010 as the date of the first one started by the Socialist International (Second International) in its better days. So, let's mark the 100th in style- that above mentioned style.
This space is dedicated to the proposition that we need to know the history of the struggles on the left and of earlier progressive movements here and world-wide. If we can learn from the mistakes made in the past (as well as what went right) we can move forward in the future to create a more just and equitable society. We will be reviewing books, CDs, and movies we believe everyone needs to read, hear and look at as well as making commentary from time to time. Greg Green, site manager
