Monday, March 8 marks the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day, celebrating the strengths and achievements of women. On this day Women for Women International will hold an annual campaign called Join Me on the Bridge, a way of symbolizing unity with women survivors of war in the Congo, Rwanda, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq, Sudan, and Nigeria, and showing that women can build the bridges of peace and development for the future.

Women and men in the New River Valley are invited to gather at the Radford Public Library parking lot from noon to 1 p.m.  on Monday, March 8, to participate in this event and “say no to war and yes to peace and hope.”

To prepare, the Radford University Women’s Studies Club will be decorating a banner from 10 a.m to 2 p.m. Friday, March 5 in the Bonnie. Contact Michele Ren with questions.
