International Women's Day

That's my extra-powerful feminist face and fist shake! Pretty intense, huh?

I realize that I've gotten a bit behind on blogging, so even though they happened a few weeks ago I'm going to update briefly on some of the cool things I've been doing.

March 8th was International Women's Day, and to get involved/celebrate, a few of us helped out at Amnesty International's Dublin walk to honor the female Zimbabwe human rights defenders. It wasn't a huge turnout for the walk (maybe 60 people?), which I'm guessing had to do with the extremely specific nature of the walk, but I enjoyed it. I supported a great cause and got to sport this really snazzy bright yellow vest and sign. My friend Jackie is doing her internship at Amnesty's office, and I guess my picture got in the newsletter they distribute throughout Ireland! It's a lot of women from Zimbabwe and then me, decked out in wool scarf and cap. Apparently I made friends that day, because no one can figure out who the other people in the picture are. I'll post a link or photos if I can find them!

Well I can't seem to find the newsletter or pictures with my Zimbabwe friends...but here are a few of us helping out (me, Rachel, Jackie, and Casey).

Can you tell it was freezing and incredibly windy?
