11 am till whenever the music stops or the sun goes down. Supporters of the project from everywhere and anywhere are invited to join us on the front lawn of Queen's Park to demonstrate for change and to show the government what we want to see in education - feminist and queer-positive literature, and women's histories.
Bring your books, your blankies, your friends and family. We want hundreds - nay, thousands there! The day will be complete with solidarity-enhancing entertainment to dazzle the eye and warm the heart, including musical performances (more details on that to come), poetry readings (such as from most fabulous up-and-comer Tanis Rideout), and book readings by some of the women authors who matter to us. It will be the fabulous, feminist, education-focused, all-ages, geek-chic, refined but riotous, irreverent-to-the-bone Woodstock of our times.
Teachers, now is the time to start making arrangements for field trips. Students, now is the time to start bugging your teachers to start making arrangements for field trips.
If you're part of an organization (Women's, education, advocacy, labour union, etc.), please let your like-minded colleagues know and winkle a day-off out of your boss (and if you are the boss, declare June 6 'Feminist Activism Day' and release your employees into the streets, with a banner from your group in hand).
Everyone else, now is the time to start spreading the word like a highly contagious infection your mother used to warn you about.
