Workshop Journal: August 6, 2005

"March 8" village gives you our warmest regards. We are happy that in our village we have both men and women to uphold the principle embodied by March 8th (International Women’s Day - salute to Clara Zetkin and Aleksandra Kollontai!). To anyone who believes in gender equality and a just society, please pay a visit to our village. We don’t bite.

I’m excited that today was just day 1 - we already had a lot of sharing of new interesting tactics. I can’t wait until tomorrow!
