International Women’s Day: In Solidarity with the People of Iran
[ March 8, 2010; 7:00 pm to 11:00 pm. ] Join RAHA Iranian Women’s Collective for a special community celebration of 100 years of International Women’s Day!
A group of Iranian feminists have put out a Call for Solidarity to organize initiatives throughout March around the world in support of their demand to end state-led violence and repression, as well as the immediate release of all political detainees in Iran.
In light of this call, we invite you to a screening of two short documentaries of the historic 1979 women’s day march in Tehran that drew women from around the world, and of the 2006 Million Signature Campaign which mobilized women across Iran to gather signatures in support of ending discriminatory laws against women. The screenings will be followed by a roundtable discussion amongst activists and participants from throughout NYC. Plus cake!
