OWS MASSIVE WOMEN'S ACTION
Friday, November 25th, 1PM, Foley Square NYC
RAISE OUR VOICES! Everyday around the world women-identified persons survive different forms of violence. Physical violence leaves us with traumatic scars. Economic violence causes us to struggle to feed our families. Sexual violence in our homes and on our streets causes us to feel shame. Political violence silences the power of our voices to make decisions in society. Military violence divides nations of women who want peace. We say no more! We want respect, equity, compassion, peace, security and healing for ourselves, our children, our communities and our world. Wall Street is violence against women. Corporations get nearly 70% of their profit from women workers who earn $2 a day. In the U.S., women make as low as $0.52 for every dollar a man makes. Women of color are 70% of the global poor. More than 15 million of our children live in poverty in the U.S., the richest nation in the world. Women remain strong! We raise our voices to promote a fair and just economic system! Women’s bodies & voices are under attack. Individuals disrespect our bodies with street harassment, rape, and other forms of physical & sexual violence. 1 in 6 American women has been a victim of attempted or completed rape. The courts, cops and lawyers continue to blame us for this violence. Media corporations make billions with music and films that disgrace our bodies, minds and spirits. And now, state governments in the U.S. have created restrictions on voting which shut out the voices of women of color at the polls. Women remain strong! We proclaim our right to peace, legal justice, respectful images and voting access! We are not cheap labor, sexual objects or people to be disregarded! We use the strength of our voices to demand respect, justice, peace, fairness, voting rights, wealth and a living wage! ***trans, gender-varient women are welcome & encouraged to attend*** (please share far & wide!)
