    Default Rally for International Women's Day - March 8th, Montreal

    DEMONSTRATION FOR INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY:

    Women Take Back the Streets!

    **Child-friendly demonstration
    **WE ENCOURAGE MEN TO JOIN US IN SOLIDARITY!

    On March 8th, we continue the struggle against deportations and detentions,
    gender violence, police brutality, criminalization, poverty, precarious
    status, racial profiling, sexist and racist immigration policies and war.

    Saturday, March 8th, 12pm (noon)
    Coin Queen Mary & Decelles
    (métro Côte des Neiges)
    autobus 165,166


    cultural perfomance and food following the march



    Every year in montreal - like in many other places across the globe, we take to the streets to denounce patriarchy and sexism and to protest against colonialism, imperialism, capitalism, racism, and fundamentalism as systems of domination that victimize us and our sisters globally by enforcing and reinforcing violence against women. On March 8th, we continue the struggle against deportations and detentions, gender violence, police brutality, criminalization, poverty, precarious status, racial profiling, sexist and racist immigration policies and war.

    Every year, as we march down the streets of montreal, we refuse to be infantilized or objectified by the state and its patriarchal institutions. We assert our power to fight for our futures and determine our destinies, as full subjects of our own liberation. We also take to the streets to celebrate and stand in solidarity with the daily struggles of our sisters, here on occupied Indigenous land and throughout the Global South.

    This year, we will remember the violence perpetrated by the montreal police against women and their allies during the 2007 International Women's day demonstration. Last year's police attack on women is testament to the patriarchal violence used by the state to control and criminalize women's fight for true justice and dignity. We refuse to be afraid, and this year again, we will take back the streets!

    ^^^ I've got work, and your thread title is wrong ( ), but I do support the need to "observe" this increasingly underrated International Women's Day.
    "A new centrist project does not have to repeat these mistakes. Nobody in this topic is advocating a carbon copy of the Second International (which again was only partly centrist)." (Tjis, class-struggle anarchist)

    "A centrist strategy is based on patience, and building a movement or party or party-movement through deploying various instruments, which I think should include: workplace organising, housing struggles [...] and social services [...] and a range of other activities such as sports and culture. These are recruitment and retention tools that allow for a platform for political education." (Tim Cornelis, left-communist)

    ^^^ PM a mod or admin, or post in one of the support fora. The thread title still shows "workers."
