International Women's Day Resistance Rally in Paris, France
IMPORTANT UPDATE March 5: Due to security concerns, the venue for this Saturday's International Women's Day protest will take place at Place de la République, northwest quadrant (near blvd Saint-Martin).
💪 As we begin US Women’s History Month, we are keenly aware that women’s rights and democracy itself are under attack as never before.
🚨 We are in a moment of crisis. The rights of ordinary people – women, LGBTQ+ individuals, people of color, and marginalized communities – are being systematically targeted through a radicalized Republican agenda that is not reflective of the country we wish to be.
✊ So, we are fighting back—loudly, relentlessly, and together.
🇺🇸🗽 This International Women's Day, Saturday, March 8th, you can #Resist from anywhere in the world—including Paris, France.
