The International Women’s Strike aims to build solidarity of all women — working women inside and outside of the home, women of color, Native women, disabled women, immigrant women, Muslim women, lesbian, cis, queer and trans women. There will be speakers, tables, and press. At 5pm there will be a march to Salmon Street Springs. Event page
In the spirit of renewed radicalism, solidarity and internationalism, the International Women’s Strike US continues to be an organizing center by and for women who have been marginalized and silenced by decades of neoliberalism directed towards the 99% of women: working women inside and outside of the home, women of color, Native women, disabled women, immigrant women, Muslim women, lesbian, cis, queer and trans women. We see our efforts as part 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, criminalization and policing, racial and sexual violence, and imperial wars abroad.
The call in the US is for a one-hour political strike from 4PM-5PM. We will rally at 4 in Pioneer Courthouse Square; Speakers, tables, press. At 5 we march to Salmon Street Springs Fountain. Legal observer and security teams are lined up.
