People around the world celebrate International Women’s Day on March 8th, a holiday initially proposed by socialist feminists to honor women workers everywhere at the 1910 general meeting of the Second International in Copenhagen. March 8 commemorates the New York City Bread and Roses protest march in 1857, where women workers called for shorter working hours, higher wages, and equal rights. Although the holiday was celebrated throughout the world in the 20th century, it was officially recognized by the United Nations in 1975. International Women's Day has spawned an amazing art movement, and today I want to share some of my favorite Women's Day posters from around the world:

    Welcome to SF Etsy

    We're a collective of over 2700 Etsy sellers in the San Francisco Bay Area. 

    The SF Etsy Street Team is 100% in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.

    We condemn the violent acts, murders, crimes, and police brutality inflicted on the BIPOC community. These terrible and senseless acts must come to an end!

    As a team, we will continue to share and raise awareness for our community of artists, specifically, black, indigenous, and people of color.

    We urge you to make a purchase from a BIPOC artist, maker, dreamer and small business owner.

    We strive to support and promote local Etsy sellers by sharing expertise and advice, hosting local shows and events, and providing a valuable network of local talent and resources.
