Because the hurt and the agony that so many suffer and swallow, turning on themselves, sits on top of a rage that burns to throw off that burden. Coming out to celebrate International Women’s Day is the first step to unleashing that fury, transforming anger into power against the sources of that pain—the system we live under.
Because the times we live in are leading to a terrifyingly horrible future—with the outlawing of abortion in half the country just one horrific example of what is yet to come—OR the very acuteness of these horrors could jolt and awaken the people to dare to lift our heads and fight for a truly emancipating revolution. There is leadership for this in Bob Avakian and the revcoms, there is a strategy, and there is a vision of a whole different society with a different way to live.
Because we could live a whole other way, beyond this madness—the way women are treated is not “human nature” but the nature of an oppressive system… and you can learn at these International Women’s Day celebrations how we could make a real revolution against that system, why this is possible and how we could create a radically different and far better world.
When we come together and act on International Women’s Day, we challenge others and we change ourselves. We stand up with those fighting for liberation around the world and bring the day when we can make a revolution closer.
COME OUT ON INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY
We will march, dance, break bread and celebrate
BREAK THE CHAINS! UNLEASH THE FURY OF WOMEN AS A MIGHTY FORCE FOR REVOLUTION!
