JOIN WOMEN ON THE BRIDGE

Celebrate International Women’s Day 2010

Monday, March 8

On International Women's Day, March 8, Women for Women International is hosting a global event called "Join me on the Bridge." Thousands of women, children an men worldwide will gather on bridges from San Francisco to Congo to call for an end to war and to demonstrate that women can build the bridges of peace and hope. In Africa, women from Congo and Rwanda will meet on a bridge that spans the border between their countries to demonstrate their desire for peace. In San Francisco, we will join with Americans for UNFPA and walk to the center of the Golden Gate Bridge to honor the resilience of

women survivors of war everywhere in the world.

We hope you'll join us on the Golden Gate Bridge on March 8th as we participate in this global campaign. We will gather in the southeast parking lot (on the San Francisco side of the bridge) at 11:30 AM and at 12:00 PM we will start our walk to the center of the bridge. Parking is limited, so we encourage you to carpool or take public transportation. We will conclude about 1:30pm.

Hope to see you there.
