Many women will not be able to strike on Wednesday because they have responsibilities that make that impossible, or it is too dangerous for them in various ways. Other women will strike in the face of dangers, and many women will strike in solidarity in whatever ways they can.
We will not meet in class Wednesday 8 March, International Women's day, to make it possible to
stop work as usual
on this day for students, teachers, staff, and others who will participate in the strike according to their needs and hopes.
We will drop the texts we were going to examine this week, and instead continue on to what we had planned for next week. We will discuss at another time how to include those dropped texts later in the term.
May this action be powerful around the world
