i woke up early on the international women’s day – i like march 8th generally, it seems like a positive time to reflect on changes, and current situations that women are in in the world, but at the same time, always seems joyous – I love the way that women’s “activism” events seem to have celebratory feelings to them.
so…i jumped online, signed some actions, I’d missed my local IWD March but was looking for something to demonstrate my support for the day. thought about the easiest way for me to do this… was online – felt a little bad about this – but do think that everyone contributes in different capacities to social change, some days I can get to everything, sometimes I just need to do what I can. It all works out in the end.
the rest of the day enjoyed that feeling of being part of something bigger than the small part of the world i occupy – so thank you everyone for sharing IWD with me.
