By Caron Lindsay | Fri 8th March 2019 - 9:38 pm

It wouldn’t be Jo if she wasn’t giving us a job to do.

My pledge will be to comfort and encourage others and give them sustenance on their journeys to their dreams.

What will you do to help achieve gender equality?

Happy #IWD2019!

What will you do to make our world a more equal place?

I will ask more women to stand for election.

Share this & reply with your pledge.

Might our party speak up for Chelsea Manning who was imprisoned on International Women’s Day [08/03/19] for refusing to testify in front of a secretive Grand Jury? She will not speak because she does not want to be part of the pursuit of Mr Assange.

Chelsea Manning has already been imprisoned for 7 years for releasing the truth about USA committed atrocities.

Chelsea Manning wrote, “I want people to see the truth – – -Because without information you cannot make informed decisions as a public.”
