The GLOBAL WOMEN'S STRIKE on International Women's Day was a great success. In LA, 3,000-4,000 women, children and supportive men marched from the Westwood Federal Bldg. past Occidental Petroleum's headquarters, Starbuck's and the Veterans' Cemetery behind a banner with the international Strike theme 'Women Say No War - Invest in Caring Not Killing.' At the rally which followed, actors Wendy Malick, Danny Glover, David Clennon and Ed Asner, as well as Vietnam vet Ron Kovic, stood alongside mothers on welfare, grandmothers, women who had been wrongfully imprisoned, women from the Middle East, Indigenous women and more, to say No to war in Iraq and all wars, and to reclaim the military budget for the care of people and the environment. Exciting news of Strike events in other cities and over 70 countries is coming in as well.
To protest LA Times coverage of the Global Women's Strike that was inaccurate, sexist and sensationalist, a multiracial delegation of 12 women and men went down to the Times, where we met with one of the assistant editors for 45 minutes. The editor has called back to say a reporter will be in touch with us soon. We'll keep you posted.
Lost and Found from the March 8th event: a pair of glasses, a small bag of film, a white dress, noisemakers, and a child's hat with flags were turned in to us. If they are yours, please call Crossroads Women's Center at 323-292-7405 on Tuesday or Thursday to arrange pickup.
