News\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Tallahassee, FL \u2013 On Sunday, March 8, over 60 community members joined the Tallahassee Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO) march to commemorate International Women\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n<p>The march was not just a commemoration of the international socialist holiday but also a march demanding an end to the system of injustice and attacks by the United States against women.<\/p>\n<p>Tallahassee protesters demanded to \u201cEnd ICE terror\u201d against women like Marimar Martinez and Renee Nicole Good, to \u201cRelease political prisoners\u201d like Cilia Flores and Leqaa Kordia, and to \u201cProtect immigrant women!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After an initial rally, people took to the streets, starting at Cascades Park then marching to the Florida Capitol Building. Participants marched in both lanes of Monroe Street, a major downtown road, blocking traffic and making their demands heard. FRSO marched at the front, their banner on display to the busy Tallahassee traffic.<\/p>\n<p>Katy Kurzweil of FRSO told the crowd, \u201cCapitalism is the machine that lets us believe we can take a step forward, but then actually takes us three steps back. We need to tear down this entire system! We in the FRSO believe that the path forward for women is socialism!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Freedom Road Socialist Organization was joined by groups like the Tallahassee Community Action Committee, the Tallahassee Immigrant Rights Alliance, and student groups like FAMU Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), Tallahassee SDS, and FSU YDSA.<\/p>\n<p>A member of YDSA made the demands of this historic holiday clear when she said, \u201cWe cannot have the liberation of women without the liberation of the working class, and we cannot have the liberation of the working class without the liberation of women!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tallahassee FRSO and organizers across the city commemorate the brave history of working women and all oppressed women abroad who have fought for their liberation! Those involved in this event will also be playing a leading role in No Kings at the Florida Capitol Building on March 28 at 3 p.m. For more information, follow @frso_tally on Instagram.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fightbacknews.org\/tag:TallahasseeFL\" class=\"hashtag\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#TallahasseeFL<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/fightbacknews.org\/tag:FL\" class=\"hashtag\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#FL<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/fightbacknews.org\/tag:InternationalWomensDay\" class=\"hashtag\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#InternationalWomensDay<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/fightbacknews.org\/tag:WomensMovement\" class=\"hashtag\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#WomensMovement<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/fightbacknews.org\/tag:LGBTQ\" class=\"hashtag\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#LGBTQ<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tallahassee, FL \u2013 On Sunday, March 8, over 60 community members joined the Tallahassee Freedom Road Socialist Organization&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":186591,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[232,234,233],"class_list":["post-186590","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tallahassee","tag-tallahassee","tag-tallahassee-headlines","tag-tallahassee-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/186590","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=186590"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/186590\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/186591"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=186590"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=186590"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=186590"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
