A event on Tuesday 8th March. The event starts at 18:00.
❌ WE WANT TO LIVE ❌
On 8th March, International Women’s Day, Bristol will be joining Women's Strike and Sisters Uncut demonstrations in London, Liverpool, Plymouth and Edinburgh. We will take to the streets to demand that no more women are murdered: in our homes, on the streets, or in our jobs. We mobilise because we want to live. Between our rage and our care, we invite you to bring your joyful militancy to the streets.
It is not even a year since Sarah Everard was killed, and yet the state expects us to forget that it was a serving policeman who murdered her. Women die, and are dying, every day, from domestic violence, while support services continue to be cut. The Policing and Crime Bill uses the language of “protecting women” but explicitly targets those of us most at risk: migrants, trans women, sex workers, women of colour, GRT communities. Trans women are attacked and the British press laughs at us as we mourn. The hostile and racist immigration system tightens around women facing deportation, drowns our sisters at sea when they try to seek safety, and criminalises our sisters for speaking out.
Now more than ever, we must stand together to show this government that we will not be silent in the face of murder. Our demand is simple: we want to live.
Join us on the streets - bring your friends , your rage and your feminist joy
