“Womxn Building Community Power” press release:
Please join Womxn Building Community Power for a conference honoring International Womxn’s Day. There will be food, music, and a chance to connect on important issues facing the community.
Join us at the Eureka Labor Temple (840 E Street) from 12- 3PM on March 9th, 2019. There will be live music, food, and the opportunity to talk with tabling organizations that support local womxn’s issues and how we as a community can create solutions. We will hear from speakers from across Humboldt, including representatives from California Kitchen, and Redwood Pride. There will also be speakers who will share their perspectives on the expiration of the Violence Against Women Act and Venezuela crisis. A linguistic art lab hosted by Conversations About Power, will be available to engage and empower womxn.
To support California Kitchen, attendees are encouraged to bring non-perishable food donations such as cooking oils, beans, rice, pasta, flour, spices, trash bags and paper products (no plastic dishware or water products) and emergency supplies such as flashlights, batteries, trail matches, emergency blankets, first aid kits and socks.The work of California Kitchen is focused on supporting Tribal communities. An act of generosity, is an opportunity to build connections and community. To learn more about the important work of California Kitchen, visit them on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/CaliKitchenNoDAPL/.
Please wear red in solidarity with Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Healthcare for All. We ask that if law enforcement would like to attend, that they do so unarmed and in civilian clothing. The intent is to create a safe space for non-violent discourse and healthy community relations between all who attend as peers and fellow community members.
The foundation of Womxn Building Community Power began when a group of individuals who had been organizing the 2019 Women’s March in Eureka decided to postpone the initial event. This decision was made in order to broaden the leadership team to include people most impacted by systems of oppression and to address community concerns regarding previous local women’s marches. This group has since grown and been working toward creating a series of events throughout the year that empower and activate people who identify as women, to improve their community.
