New York, International Women's Day 2015

March 8—Today’s International Women’s Day march in the streets of NYC unleashed a unique beauty that only this kind of fierce defiance can express—right to the places representing this system’s war against women! Starting off from the steps of St. Patrick’s cathedral and heading to the Eighth Avenue porn district, passing through the throngs of people in Times Square, the home of military and NYPD recruiters. The march included a visit to a theater to protest Fifty Shades of Grey. Everywhere, the battle cry was, “Rise up for the women of the world! For the women of the world: RISE UP!!!"
