4. Friday, 7:00pm – 9:00pm, Film Showing of Persepolis
Revolution Books, Berkeley
2444 Durant Ave.
Berkeley
As the US and Israel bomb Iranian cities in an unprovoked and criminal war, we screen Persepolis.
This film comes from a perspective of opposing BOTH the horrific rule of the US-backed Shah of Iran, AND the rule of the repressive Islamic Republic, which just last month murdered thousands of protesters. This understanding and perspective is urgently needed now in relation to the US’s unjust attack on Iran.
From the 1953 CIA coup, to the Shah, to the Islamic fundamentalist theocracy, this film movingly portrays the resistance and lives of the Iranian people through the beautifully animated film of the life of Marjane Satrapi, based on her graphic novel.
In 1970s Iran, Marjane ‘Marji’ Satrapi watches events through her young eyes and her family of a long dream being fulfilled of the hated Shah’s defeat in the Iranian Revolution of 1979.
But as she grows up, she witnesses first hand how the new Iran, now ruled by Islamic fundamentalists, has become a repressive tyranny on its own.
Our screening is dedicated to the people of Iran.

Hundreds have already been killed by the U.S. and Israel’s war on Iran—including over 100 children as they sat in their elementary school. The people of the U.S. overwhelmingly oppose the war, but that opposition needs to be expressed in the streets so it is impossible to ignore. Join a protest this Saturday, March 7, to make your voice heard!
We won’t stand by while this new war claims more lives—including the lives of U.S. service members—and Trump and the billionaires in the White House cheer.

Meet at:
Union Square in San Francisco
Corner of Geary Street and Stockton Street
SF
March & Rally
The start of 2026 made one thing painfully clear: this administration thinks it’s above the law. We’ve watched cruelty become policy, chaos masquerade as leadership, and power exercised without accountability. And still, women have stood up.
The Trump regime thinks it’s above the law. Cruelty is policy. Power is exercised without accountability.
And still, women stand up.
We’ve seen women like Renee Good face fascism head-on. Her courage reminds us that bravery is a choice made in real moments, by real people, at real cost. This moment calls for more of us to be brave.
This International Women’s Day, let’s be brave together. Join us for a Brave Women Weekend of Action with a march and rally in San Francisco on March 8th. We will demonstrate the collective power of women & allies to resist, the impact of our noncompliance, and our will to build a better world.
The land of the free is under attack. The home of the brave still stands. A Free America depends on us!

12. Wednesday, 11:00am – 1:00pm, a humble prayer March in honor of Intl Women’s Day
Meet at:
11am Wednesday , March 11th occupied Yelamu (SF) Launch at Corner of Market and Montgomery streets
SF
1:00pm – Ends at St. Mary’s Square on California St.between Grant and Kearney Sts. SF
Homeless Women/Indigenous women/Refugee Women/Disabled women /incarcerated women/Comfort women… a humble prayer March in honor of Intl Women’s Day
Honoring women surviving the violence of borders, colonization, sweeps, evictions, and wars across Mama Earth.
The Vision (Engles)
The vision of this humble multi-generational walk in the occupied village of yelamu (SF) is to pray, to weap, to dream , to honor voices and struggles from the poorest women among us – impacted first and worst by violent gentrification , eviction , false borders, carceral systems , police Terror and violent extraction of mama earth and our mamas
Each stop on the march reflects these communities, We will b starting at Montgomery and market, above a BART station where many houseless , disabled, elder women have tried to sleep and sit and were met with violent sweeps and arrest -then to the site of an abandoned ICE korthouse -a site of false colonial border terror of indigenous women , men and families and then we will culminate at the comfort woman memorial in St Mary’s park because the far too little known story of the comfort women who were victims of terrifying sexual violence, abuse and extraction has much to teach us about the abuse and terror experienced by poor women in a colonial systems everywhere
We chose SF becuz this city currently employs some of the most violent anti-houseless , anti disabled peoples policies. As well, that all of these issues are intertwined , Most houseless women are disabled , a very high percentage are indigenous refugees from the other sides of the false borders and the only “solution” this settler town has is incarceration and criminalization
PLEASE DM us if your movement or org would like to co-sponsor
Hosts: House Keys Not Handcuffs, POOR Mag. & Other groups
13. Wednesday, 1:00pm – 2:30pm, No More Nukes On 15th Annviersary of Fukushiam: SF Rally
San Francisco Japanese Consulate
275 Battery St/California St.
SF
3/11 SF Rally At SF Japanese Consulate: On The 15th Anniversary Of Fukushima Nuclear Meltdowns-Stop Restarting Nuke Plants In Japan & Shutdown Nuke Plants Around The World
On the 15th anniverary of the meltdown of 3 nuclear reactors in Fukushima, Japan the government and the operator TEPCO have still been unable to remove over 880 lbs. of melted
radioactive waste. At the same time Japanese governments including the latest supporter of Nukes Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi who supports opening up all closed nuclear plants and is in full support of the expansion of nuclear power and weapons. She and her party also want to eliminate Article 9 and build a military force for military interventions around the world. She has also supported the export of weapons from Japan to other countries.
The fact that the supporters of nuclear power have still been unable to remove the radioactive waste from Fukushima is proof positive that this technology and nuclear development is a threat to not only Japan but the world.
At the same time the US Biden and now Trump administration are pushing for more nuclear plants and mini-nuclear power plants to help power the expanding data centers. Governor Gavin Newsom also with the support of the super majority of Democrats in the legislatue and Republicans in California voted to spend billions of dollars in subsidies to keep the PG&E Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant open. This threat of an earthquake at this nuke pant is is real since it sits on an earthquake fault. It is also one of the reasons for the massive increase in electrical costs for rate payers in California.
We need to continue the international campaign to stop re-opening of Nuke plants and to stop the drive for nukes and war globally.
Stop Dumping Fukushima Radioactive Tritium Into The Pacific
Shutdown Diablo Canyon, No Subsidies to PG&E For Nuke Power
Defend of the Residents of Fukushima & No More Nukes In Japan and the World
Host: No Nukes Committee
14. Wednesday, 6:00pm – 7:30pm, The Future of Independent Commissions in San Francisco
Women’s Building
3543 18th St #8
SF
You may attend this event in person or online. The event recording will be shared with all event registrants.
San Francisco’s system of independent commissions is one of the strongest tools residents have to hold their government accountable — and it’s now at a critical turning point.
The Commission Streamlining Task Force, created by the voter-approved Proposition E (November 2024), is proposing changes that could dramatically weaken public oversight and concentrate more power in the Mayor’s office. This will have real consequences for housing, public safety, transit, and neighborhood services across the city.
Come to this urgent community forum to understand what’s at stake. You’ll learn what commissions actually do, how these recommendations could reshape who makes decisions for San Francisco, and why this moment matters for everyone who cares about transparency, democracy, and the future of our city.
Host: League of Women Voters – SF
