Men
join women to demand “Invest in caring not killing”
for the 3th Global Women’s Strike on 8 March 2002
30
January 2002
Dear
friend,
We
invite you to participate in publishing and giving practical support to
the third Global Women’s Strike.
A
growing number of men have supported this global initiative in the past
and will support it again this year. Increasingly, men are acknowledging
how the demands of the Global Women’s Strike strengthen their own
demands. As an international network of men Payday
co-ordinates this support.
Up
to now, men from 18 countries have shown support by writing statements for
the Strike in 2000 and 2001. From 2002, many men have written in
support of women’s opposition to wars.
We
would be delighted to get statement from you and put it on this Website.
Other
men have also helped with computer and other technical work, videoing,
transport, food preparation or childcare, etc. A fact sheet on organising
collective childcare is available from us and may give you some ideas (the
webpage will be available soon).
As
a contribution to the Strike whose general demand is “Invest in caring,
not killing!”, Payday has collected information and statements of men
who are refusing the military. (Our
webpage "Refusing to kill" will be available soon.)
Finally,
your support can also take the form of financial and material donations.
Such is always needed and welcome.
Above
all, we wish to hear from you. Get
in touch, let us know what you’re doing or plan to do to support the
Global Women’s Strike, or simply contact us so we can discuss what is
possible.
Power to the sisters and therefore
to us all.
