Onward to the International Women's Day gathering!


Julia Wallace said:

"Over 200 people attended and participated(Occupy LA, Occupy the Hood, CARECEN organizers against Domestic Violence, Out and Occupy, The Sex Workers Outreach Project, California Families Against Solidarity Housing Unit, Food Not Bombs, Cuacthemoc Aztec dancers, and of course the working class community who came through participated and spoke at the rally). Thank you to the comrades of Egypt, Mexico, Argentina, Bolivia and the US for the letters of solidarity. Working Women Unite Against Imperialism!"
