I send nasawiya support, admiration, and congratulations on planning this courageous march! I’ve posted it on my FB page and FB profile and tweeted about it. I wish I could join you but will be there in spirit. Take Back the Night–AND the Day, as Arab women are on the march and the world will never be the same.
In solidarity and in global sisterhood,
Robin Morgan
