RE: What Nobody Wants to Admit About the 2018 Women’s March

in #news7 years ago

Derrick I completely agree with your article. True solidarity means solidarity with all women across the globe, especially women who are the victims of wars.

You may have already heard about this, but Cindy Sheehan together with Bonnie Caracciolo are seeking to host an event, tentatively on October 20th, called Women's March on the Pentagon (Give a Sh!t).

Event Details: To Confront the Bi-Partisan War Machine.
In response to the continuing march of military aggression by the USA and to put an antiwar agenda back on the table of activists, we are calling for an Women's (and allies) March on the Pentagon tentatively sent for the 51st anniversary of the 1967 big antiwar event in DC and subsequent march on the Pentagon that had 50,000 people!

If you don't like Trump (and who doesn't), we have something for you too! Just think TRUMP'S BLOATED FINGER IS ON THE NUCLEAR BUTTON!

However, this is NOT, nor will it turn into a Get Out the Vote Rally for the Democrat 1/2 of the War Party. This is a principled call to action against the entire rotten Empire.

This is a clearinghouse for volunteering and putting together the event---it will be updated regularly as more information is added.

To quote Cindy in an article by Black Agenda Report:
"Ha! I think people should wear whatever color, or kind of hat they like. I prefer my hats to be more the style of Commandante Fidel or Ché, myself. Seriously though, I was told by one of the people close to the Women's March that the issue of war would NEVER be addressed as long as women aren't free. She was of course talking about only white American women, apparently, because the war at home and the wars abroad kill or oppress thousands of women and their families every year. No woman can be "free" if any woman is oppressed by the US Empire, anywhere in the world. True solidarity means solidarity with ALL women.
The pink pussy hat is also a symbol of anti-Trump sentiment. I think most of us agree that it's proper to be anti-Trump, but the Women's March on the Pentagon will recognize that the issue of war and peace is, unfortunately, non-partisan."

I hope that it comes together and that it has a huge following, because it would certainly be a march that is worth attending.
