And just like that, International Women's Day has come and gone - although today in the Oxfam America office, I overheard someone say "Happy IWD Week." I guess it's not over
just yet.
Many of our Action Corps cities have hosted spectacular International Women's Day events this year. Here's a roundup in photos of a few:
Washington, D.C. held an Oxfam Slam last Saturday, February 27th, featuring local poets, artists, and musicians. You can't tell from the pictures, but estimated attendance for the Slam was
150!

Boston: Boston Action Corps' official IWD event has yet to happen (it's scheduled for March 26th - view the event
here) but volunteers at their last meeting took photos with signs that detailed reasons to celebrate women.
Chicago: On Saturday, March 5th. Chicago Action Corps held Inequality: Local and Global Action for International Women’s Day - a discussion and call to action to fight inequality at all levels. One of the results: this beautiful photo campaign.

Thanks to the recent development here, there is no longer a place to be avoided at night. This is a perfect venue Houston TX for a classy, elegant event. It’s great when everyone gathers for an incredible picture.
