For the past two years, Regeneración has observed March 8, International Women's Day with Raha Iranian Feminist Collective, at their annual celebration. This year, we were honored to share our thoughts about what this day means to us. Here are some of the reasons we celebrate:
For International Women's Day, we at Regeneración want to pay homage to the fierce women who birthed this project... Black and Latina women in Bushwick, Brooklyn doing amazing collective work – from making media to calling out sexual harassment by cops to traveling to engaging with grassroots organizing in Argentina, where they were so inspired by the way children and elders are integrated into the movement that they came back to bushwick and created a childcare cooperative. Through this childcare cooperative, Regeneración was born.
