WILPF US joins the Global Women’s Strike, the National Welfare Rights Union, CodePink, and other National PPC Partners – like us – in co-sponsoring this national PPC event. It focuses on women’s poverty and how it affects our families and wider communities.  In unpaid caregiving work alone, women contribute $10.9 trillion to the economy, yet the US women and children are 70% of the poor, and around the world the statistics are similar.

This International Women’s Day event will feature the PPC fusion approach, integrating music and poetry and amplifying the voices of affected women with their testimoy.  Rev. Liz Theoharis and Shailly Gupta Barnes of the PPC and special guest, Congresswoman Gwen Moore, House of Representatives, Wisconsin, will participate. Register here to get the link for this timely and important recognition of women!

WILPF members and branches across the country are urged to join with the PPC State Campaigns, to participate in a wide variety of ways with the PPC. Unite with the PPC to end the interlocking injustices of systemic racism, poverty, the war economy, ecological devastation and the nation’s distorted moral narrative of religious nationalism.  (You can print or purchase your own "Uniting to End" WILPF-PPC banner.  (Scroll down there to see PPC banner, under the WILPF US Banners.)

In 2022, the WILPF national Board joined the PPC in Washington, D.C. for their June 18 Mass Poor Peoples and Low-Wage Workers’ Assembly and Moral March on Washington and to the Polls.
