IWD 2017: 'A Day Without A Woman'

Today is International Women's Day, the day many are calling 'A Day Without A Woman.' Women are urged to avoid shopping today, abstain from work, take action for women’s equality, and wear red to demonstrate solidarity. A 'Women Workers Rising' rally will be held this afternoon starting at 3:30pm (see Calendar). Hundreds of workers – women and men -- will join supporters around the world to demand fair and just working conditions, livable wages and better working conditions for everyone. The women’s actions will also demonstrate resistance to the anti-worker Trump agenda and Labor Secretary nominee R. Alexander Acosta.
