Over 1000 women and their feminist allies gathered in Toronto to march on International Women's Day (celebrated on Saturday, 6 March 2010). We marched to demand investment in public services, good jobs and pensions for all, and to demand an end to violence and exploitation. Women also marched under the banners of Migrant Women Workers Against Imperialism, the Shelter / Sanctuary / Status Campaign, No One Is Illegal, and Status for All, as pro-Palestinian supporters on the tail end of Toronto's Israeli Apartheid Week, as members of the student movement, the labour movement, and as the unemployed. These audio clips are a few of the highlights (so powerful!) from the rally that took place at 11:00 am at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, as well as a few sounds from the march through downtown Toronto (which took place from 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm).
Recorded for CKLN 88.1 FM and CHRY 105.5 FM. Big thanks to all of the International Womens Day organizers.
