RESIST DAY #48: What You Can Do Today

Resistance in your community, across the country, and around the globe

Wednesday, March 8, 2017

  • Participate into today's #DayWithoutAWoman
    Today is International Women's Day and women and their allies across the world are acting together for equity, justice, and the human rights of women and all people, through a one-day demonstration of economic solidarity.

    Anyone, anywhere, can join in one or all of the following ways:
    • Women take the day off, from paid and unpaid labor
    • Avoid shopping for one day (with exceptions for small, women- and minority-owned businesses).
    • Wear RED in solidarity with A Day Without A Woman (Check out #WearRed on social media)
  • Learn more on the Women's March and International Women's Strike (IWS) websites
  • Tell people what you're fighting for, and encourage them to join the cause, by sharing your story/demand using the #IStrikefor hashtag
  • Find events and actions by location here
