The International Working Women's Day 2010 Coalition invites women, men and children to attend the "Stop the violence against women, every issue is a woman's issue" march and rally on Saturday, March 27 in New York City. More now than ever, building solidarity and linking all the struggles through protest are important to get this devastating economic crisis off the backs of women, their families and communities.

The march will gather at Union Square at 14th and Broadway at 12 noon. The march will step off around 12:30 p.m. Bring drums and other instruments to play on the march. An ending rally will take place at the Solidarity Center at approximately 2:30 p.m. followed by food, a film and music.

March 27 leaflets in English and Spanish are available for downloading at the Bail Out the People Movement Web site at bailoutpeople.org. There will be translations from English to Haitian Creole and Spanish and vice versa during the rally.

If your group and/or you as an individual can support March 27, please fill out the endorsement form for this activity and help get the word out about it on your job, school, union and community. Call 212-633-6646 from 2 p.m. until 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday for more information and to arrange for childcare.

The next March 27 planning meeting is Wednesday, March 17, 7 p.m. at the Solidarity Center, 55 W. 17th St., 5th floor, Manhattan. Women are encouraged to attend.
