International Women's Day 2015



Observing International Women’s Day 2015

As I acknowledge and join fellow W.O.R.D SF members in celebration of International Women’s Day with the theme of “Still Fighting for Our Rights & Equality”, I look to the women around the globe who struggle every day for justice in countries such as El Salvador where reproductive freedom and access to abortions are forbidden back to right here in the United States where human rights and the legal system are not equal from Florida with the Stand Your Ground Law to California with Yes Means Yes. Also let us not forget that in 2015, this celebration also encompasses our comrades within the transgender community and those who identify as such to provide an array of international diversity.

Specifically, as I speak of Carmen Guadalupe Vasquez Aldana’s case, Marissa Alexander’s case, Meggan Sommerville’s case and the SB967 Student Safety Sexual Assault Bill-let us rally together loud and proud to “say no to the status-quo…full equality for all women”…thank you!!! -KJC
