A
event
on Saturday 8th March. The event starts at 17:00.
None of us are free, until all of us are free !
Join us on International Women's Day to grieve and to show solidarity for those most affected by sexist and racist violence.
We know that our freedom from sexual and domestic violence, from endless wars, our freedom of choice over our bodies, our freedom to be, and to love, depends on the freedom of women globally.
Therefore we answer the call from Palestinian feminists to resist our government's collaboration with Israel in the ongoing genocide. We stand in solidarity with all who disrupt the violence of Imperialism - from Bristol to Palestine, West Sahara to Kurdistan, Congo to Sudan - we rise together, united in resistance.
Bring your self, your friends, your voices, you presence, candles.,.
We will meet at the Castle Park Band stand at 17:00
A candlelit vigil, march and demonstration, Saturday 8th March, 5pm, Castle Park Bandstand.

We have chosen Castle Park as we believe it has good accessibility access. If you want to join the event but are concerned about accessibility - please don't hesitate to contact us directly.
with Love and Solidarity !
'The first act of violence that patriarchy demands of males is not violence toward women. Instead patriarchy demands of all males that they engage in acts of psychic self-mutilation, that they kill off the emotional parts of themselves. If an individual is not successful in emotionally crippling himself, he can count on patriarchal men to enact rituals of power that will assault his self-esteem.'
