Women’s Rights Are Workers’ Rights
From the Russian Revolution of 1917
To the Streets of Oakland in 2017

The 2017 Women’s March was the largest one-day protest in American history; accomplished with zero violence. One hundred years earlier, on March 8, 1917, the women of Petrograd began the Russian Revolution. Our speakers will discuss the contemporary significance of these two events: Marsha Feinland, P&F activist, asks “breaking the glass ceiling or smashing the state?”; Mary McIlroy, P&F activist, from liberation to feminism and back again; Luci Riley, National Nurses United, on women rising against Trump; and Eugene Ruyle, independent Marxist, on women and the Russian Revolution.
