International Women’s Day Celebration Event March 8, 2012

Women make up 51% of the world’s population but 70% of the world’s poor. Women perform 66% of the world’s work, produce 50% of the food, but earn 10% of the income and own less than 1% of the world’s property.

Women’s work continues to be unpaid, underpaid and undervalued, making women’s contribution invisible to economic indicators and ineligible for the rewards reaped by the so called “productive” members of society.

Over half of the homeless are women and children, often fleeing domestic violence and neglect.

Everyone is invited to participate and join Nashville women as they make a strong statement for women’s rights and economic justice in Nashville and around the world! You and we are the 99%.

Meet at Legislative Plaza at 11:30am. The schedule of events includes a welcome and remarks by organizers, a dance and time for mingling, and a march to meet up with activists from Join Me On The Bridge/Women for Women International/Women In Black/CodePink, at the Broadway Street Bridge (near the Union Station Hotel) in downtown Nashville (about a 10-15 minute walk). The march will leave plaza at approximately 12:15pm.

Bring drums, musical instruments, colored cloth, signs, anything to add to the event. For further information contact Elizabeth Barger at npjceliz@gmail.com or pr@occupynashville.org.
