A DAY FOR…
CELEBRATING AND VALIDATING women all over the world
THINKING about women who have inspired our lives
ACKNOWLEDGING social change achieved by, with, and for women
BEING AWARE of women whose worlds are in need of change
REVIEWING our potential to contribute to such change
AFFIRMING solidarity amongst women
CONNECTING with women who are important to us
ENJOYING the belly-laughs of women having fun
CLAIMING our space and being whoever we are with pride
DONNING our red hats regardless of age and other differences
(If reference to red hats passes you by, here’s a link to Jenny Joseph’s poem, and a second link to a YouTube video of her reading the poem.
