JULY 11, 18, 25 and AUGUST 1, 2015
From priestesses to women scientists, the eradication of women’s contributions to human social, political, scientific and economic history has been thoroughly removed from general public awareness… We must know and understand thoroughly the core ideas of the women’s struggle for liberation. It is the only way we can fully comprehend women’s vision of a just and peaceful society, and truly do away with the hierarchy of privilege.
Reader + Lunch will be provided. Register for the Summer School of Women’s Activism here: http://ssowa2015.eventbrite.com Financially down and out? Have questions? Email at: nynj@af3irm.org

International Women’s Day March in New York City March 8th, 2015 @12pm starting at Herald Square
For the 10th year in a row the International Working Woman’s Day Coalition lead the International Women’s Day March in New York City. They called on all women, trans women, allied organizations and communities at large to join them on March 8, the day celebrated around the world, to march and speak out against police brutality and terror, state repression and militarization.
The Sister Circle Collective participated under the name #FeministsOnTheMove, creating a space similar to that of the previous contingent for Millions March NYC in December 2014. Core Sisters Dairanys and Lanai spoke their truths in front of precincts and elected offices on why transnational feminist beliefs and the embodiment of “the personal is political” called the SCC to action once again.
Gender Resource Center Campaign at City College
The Sister Circle Collective is a member organization of the Gender Resource Center Campaign at City College. Since as early as 2008, students and community members have organized for gender-based services to be made available at City College. Most of that organizing took place in the Guillermo Morales/Assata Shakur Student and Community Center. When the center was seized in the Fall 2013, a vital organizing and safe space was lost.
