Women are powerful — and our power was on full display at the Women’s March. We're a powerful economic force! We're powerful caregivers...and…marchers!  

Your voice and power are needed again, right now, this very second. Women’s rights, including access to healthcare for ourselves and for our families, are under serious threat. That's why the Women’s March organizers have called for a one-day strike, "A Day Without a Woman,” on this Wednesday, March 8th.

On March 8, International Women's Day, women want to give the nation a taste of what A Day Without Women would be like by striking for one day in a demonstration of solidarity for equity, justice and the human rights of women.

Anyone, anywhere, can participate on March 8th in one or all of the following ways: 

1. Wear RED in solidarity with all women (This red can be worn in a private or public way, i.e. red socks count too!).
2. If it’s safe for you, print and wear the MomsRising #KeepMarching paper button on your clothing (downloadable for free after you sign on in support of A Day Without a Woman).
3. Avoid spending money (except at small, women- and minority-owned businesses that support gender, racial, and economic equity/A Day Without a Woman). 
4. Women, if possible and safe for you, do not do paid or unpaid work. 

Whether you plan to be a part of the work strike or not, sign MomsRising's message in support A Day Without a Woman now: http://action.momsrising.org/sign/WomensStrike/

How powerful are women? We now comprise half of the entire paid labor force for the first time in history, moms are now close to 50 percent of all primary breadwinners, and women drive 70 to 80 percent of all consumer purchasing in our economy that's based on consumer spending. The U.S. economy would collapse without us.

Yet, women still are paid only 80 cents on a man’s dollar, with moms and women of color experiencing increased wage hits. And enough American voters were okay with a man boasting about assaulting women by “grabbing her by the pussy” — and promising to roll back women’s access to healthcare — that they elected him President of the United States. This is not respectful, right, nor just.

Publicly stand with women by signing on in support of A Day Without a Woman now!
