Today, March 8th, is International Women’s Day 2018. Here’s a brief video from UN Women celebrating this year’s theme: The Time Is Now.
Since our platform is about expressing ideas and ideals instead of cash flow, clicks, or fundraising, we have the freedom to include a wide range of topics and formats that might not work elsewhere. We don’t need or want paid content, promotional materials, or story lines designed to please donors.
So the idea here is to present videos one or more of the editors feel speaks to them. Sometimes it will be news. Sometimes it will be history. And a lot of the time it will be culture. You can not and should not separate these things: it is diversity and intersectionality that makes our movement strong.

Encouraging news from Spain: 5.3 Million workers joined a 24 hour feminist strike in Spain today. Women are not doing domestic chores, not spending money and bringing traffic and trains to a halt in major cities. They are protesting wage inequality and violence that disproportionately affect women.
