Sydney IWD in 2012

From the f-collective:

This year for International Women’s Day 2012 we are holding a community picnic in First Fleet Park on March 10 at 12pm.

After last year’s great success we wanted to have a new format and focus for the 101st IWD. The theme for this year is Re-generation: Shaping our Feminist Future. We are focused on getting the community together with a special emphasis on the next generation of feminists. As such the speakers and performers at the event will all be young women.

We will not be having stalls this year but we are welcoming all community groups to bring a picnic blanket down with their flyers, t-shirts, badges and information and we are going to set up a special area where people can find out about all of the great organisations out there. Having a presence at IWD will not cost anything but we would ask that you email us and let us know that you’re coming so that we can make sure the community area is big enough for all of us. F Collective (who is organising IWD) will not be organising a march this year.

Please find attached the Poster 2012 and Blurb 2012 info. Please forward these on to your members and networks.

You can also find us on Facebook under Sydney IWD and the F Collective also have a group on Facebook that you’re welcome to join.

If you would like to assist in organising IWD please feel free to join us at 6pm Monday evenings at Level 1, 87 Myrtle St, Chippendale.

If you want any further information please feel free to get in touch.
