Streik-Café zum 8. März

In the organizer's words:

Under the motto: We fight, we strike, we live! feminists throughout Germany are calling for actions on March 8.

The focus is on fair pay and recognition for care work: wiping bottoms, doing laundry, listening, managing appointments, supporting people with disabilities.

Sounds mundane? It is! Nothing works without care work. Whether it's daycare, nursing, social work or at home: this work keeps the business running, but is often overlooked, poorly paid and often has poor working conditions.

It is mainly women and queer people who work in these professions, and many are migrants.

The demand for more pay? For more days off? Absolutely justified! Poor pay and working conditions are no accident - they are the result of a system that is not geared towards what we need to live, but works according to the logic of profit. This profit logic harms us all.

We are fighting for a different society. This society must be feminist, otherwise it is no different!

We show solidarity with all those who are fighting for better pay - and demand more: Let's stand together instead of fighting alone! Whether paid or unpaid, with or without a contract - we are united by the fact that we dream of a better world.

A world from which current politics is far removed. They use right-wing agitation to distract us from the real problems and try to turn us against each other. Politicians are making savings in the social sector. At the same time, they are spending billions on armaments and wars that cause suffering worldwide and destroy the environment. We will not allow this to continue!

We want to make a contribution to the international feminist struggle with our strike café in Bonn. There will be many protests on and around March 8.

Feminist and trade union initiatives that support these protests will have the opportunity to meet and network at the Strike Café. There will be speeches, information stands, music and activities for children.

The strike café is organized by an alliance of feminist, anti-fascist and climate justice groups from Bonn.
