International Women's Day Rally and March

International Women's Day is barely recognized in the US, but that doesn't stop the IWD March and Rally from drawing hundreds of participants each year. This year's lunchtime event will start at Daley Plaza (100 N. Dearborn) at noon, then snake through the Loop, stopping at several consulates along the way to protest the oppression of women around the world. Sponsored by the Chicago Battered Woman's Network, Boricua Human Rights Network, 8th Day Center for Justice, the National Organization for Women, Peace Pledge-Chicago, Prairie Fire Organizing Committee, Puerto Rican Cultural Center, and UNITE.

Co-sponsored by Chicago Sister Cities International and U of C's Graham School, 1427 E. 60th Street, 6 pm. Tickets are $25, beverages and hors d'oeuvres included.
