Come together this International Women's Day with CODEPINK Denver/Boulder, Denver Justice and Peace Committee, Jewish Voices for Peace, Colorado for Palestine Club, Rocky Mountain Peace and Justice Center, and Denver Peace Council for an empowering teach-in. Let's delve into how our tax dollars are entangled in perpetuating genocide in Gaza, examining the profound impact on Palestinian women and children. We must highlight BIGGEST COST of war: Women and Children. Together, we'll explore how redirecting these funds towards our local communities can spark positive change and support the people's needs!
