International Women's Day at the Museum
No matter how you're celebrating International Women's Day, the Museum of the City of New York is here for you. We're celebrating today by offering free guided tours highlighting the women featured in our Activist New York, New York At Its Core, and Gay Gotham exhibitions at 10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Throughout March and beyond, continue celebrating and contemplating New York City’s activist history in our exhibitions and during programs designed for children, adults, and educators
Exhibition: Activist New York
New York City has never been a place where people keep their views to themselves, and this rings true now more than ever. Explore the city's activist past and present by visiting our Activist New York exhibition. Using artifacts, photographs, audio and visual presentations, as well as interactive components that seek to tell the entire story of activism in the five boroughs, Activist New York presents the passions and conflicts that underlie the city's history of agitation. #ActivistNY


On March 8th, the International Women's Strike NYC - a coalition representing dozens of grassroots groups and labor organizations - is organizing a number of actions in support of labor campaigns, migrants' rights, Sanctuary Campus campaigns, and others.
At 4 PM there will be a rally in Washington Square Park.
The rally will open with an artistic performance created by Alejandra Ballón Gutiérrez (Arequipa, Peru 1975), “La Alfombra Roja”, and songs by singers Natalia Saez, Renee Ghoust and Liah Alonso. “La Alfombra Roja” project was created to make visible the terrible effects of patriarchal relations on women’s lives. Among the forms of violence that affect women, it was used to denounce the criminal policies of forced sterilization of indigenous women, carried out in the Nineties by the then-President of Peru, Alberto Fujimori: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kw_4d2pL9Q.
