People protesting in Québec city in front of the #USconsulate. Event organized by Mères au front (Mothers at the front) on #internationalwomansday . There was similar protests in many cities in #Quebec.

#uspol is affecting us like never before.

Happy #InternationalWomansDay. It feels like everything is burning down around us, but when we are met with resistance, it is the time to #RiseUp and #AcelerateAction. Here are some book recommendations that do just that...

Remind them who runs the world...

Is It A Happy #InternationalWomansDay To Every Woman:
Told she was hysterical,
over-emotional,
not pretty enough,
didn't smile enough,
or otherwise shamed.
the women physically attacked because they said, "NO"
To women who have to take self-defence course in order to walk to that corner store at night.
To women burdened with more responsibilities: children, running a home, working full time, and at the same time expected to always appear beautiful?

This is the reality!
