also shout out to the teenage jewish immigrant girls in nyc who sparked the movement that launched international women’s day or more specifically, international working women’s day before the class struggle was erased from its name. your efforts, built on the literal ashes of your sisters after they died in workplace-hazard disaster fires and inspired your work, changed labour laws starting in the us and radiating internationally as other women and working-class people fought back, following your lead. you took to the streets by the tens of thousands and made history. you are international superstars, and the work you started continues to this day with the #fightfor15 and other labour and gender battles. WHO RUN THE WORLD?
