Wednesday, March 8, 9am-3:30pm, Frank W. Hale Black Cultural Center [Martin Luther King Jr. Lounge], 154 W. 12th Ave.

Join the OSU Coalition for the International Women’s Strike for a day-long teach-in to honor International Women’s Day on March 8! We stand with the Platform of the International Women’s Strike, which is available in full here, and dedicate ourselves to fighting these same injustices on our own campus.

The International Women’s Day Solidarity Teach-In will be a day-long series of teach-ins on women’s rights and work and the current threats to vulnerable populations around the world, including immigrants, refugees, trans men and women, and disabled people. The Solidarity Teach-In will be an “alternative school” for the day so that students, faculty, and community members will be able to participate in the call for a nation-wide women’s strike while also coming together for a day of learning, political debate, and movement building.

We invite staff from across campus and workers from the community to attend, as well as professors and other instructors to bring their classes out to the teach-ins, and for students to come individually as part of this strike. We encourage attendees to wear red, the color of solidarity chosen by the national organizers of the day of action.
