MARCH 8 INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY Celebrate Resistance and Internationalism!

As the two outmoded ideologies battle it out ― Islamic fundamentalism on the one hand and US imperialism on the other, neither of any use and in fact both causing much harm to the people of the world ― women caught in the cross hairs of these outmodeds take the stage on March 8, International Women’s Day.
On that day, we will meet in solidarity with the women of Iran & Afghanistan in their struggle against the women-hating Islamic Republic of Iran and the imperialist U.S. empire. While we meet in the belly of the beast, women from those and other countries will be protesting in secret in Iran and publicly in Europe, declaring:
From Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq to the U.S.
From China to the Philippines and Mexico
Fight against Women's Oppression!
No to the Islamic Republic of Iran! No to U.S. imperialism!
No to the U.S.'s Islamic Republic in Afghanistan!
No to the Taliban!
Bush's "War on Terror" & Obama's "Good Wars" Serve the Empire!
