Women’s March organizers announced on Thursday the call to action for “A Day Without a Woman,” a strike planned for March 8 International Women’s Day.
Organizers are encouraging women to take the day off from paid and unpaid labor, and for supporters of the movement to only spend money at small, women- and minority-owned businesses.There is a specific call for “male allies” to use the day to “call out decision-makers at the workplace and in the government to extend equal pay and adequate paid family leave for women.”
“Businesses are participating by closing for the day or giving women workers the day off, and by auditing how their policies impact women and their families,” Women’s March organizers said.
