INVEST IN CARING NOT KILLING!

International network for recognition & payment for all caring work, and the return of military spending to the community starting with women the main carers everywhere. Women & girls do 2/3 of the world's work, most of it unwaged. +$1 trillion/year is spent on the military worldwide, more than half by the US. 10% of this would provide the essentials of life for all: water, sanitation, basic healt

h, nutrition, literacy, and a minimum income. The Global Women's Strike is a grassroots network with national co-ordinations in a number of countries. Invest in caring not killing is our strategy for change. We campaign for the return of military budgets to the community, beginning with women the main caregivers in every country of people and the planet. Women, and men who support our goals, take action together on 8 March, International Women’s Day, and throughout the year. We work to ensure that power relations among us are addressed, and that each of our struggles is backed by our collective power. Women from different sectors are involved: women of color, Indigenous & rural women, mothers, women in waged work, le***an, bis*xual women & TT women, s*x workers, religious activists, women with disabilities, older & younger women...

Philly send-off to ✊🏿Black Mothers March in DC May 10. blackmothersmarch.com

Children are too often removed from their families and placed in foster care because “child welfare” policies treat poverty as neglect. Black and Brown children, mostly from single mothers, are removed at an alarming rate. Meanwhile Philly City Council has not implemented the 2022 special committee recommendation to end this and other discriminatory practices. In Philly 67% of children removed are Black, despite being only 42% of the population.

How are children impacted?
What is the foster care to prison pipeline?
How are agencies collaborating with ICE to kidnap and detain immigrant children?
What resources should be available to help mothers and other caregivers raise children rather than being used to separate families?
How are impacted communities fighting back?
