"As a business run entirely by women, we believe in the importance of taking a stand and shining a light on the injustices that not only women, but all gender oppressed people, are still facing to this very day. 'In the same spirit of love and liberation that inspired the Women's March, we join together in making March 8th A Day Without a Woman, recognizing the enormous value that women of all backgrounds add to our socio-economic system--while receiving lower wages and experiencing greater inequities, vulnerability to discrimination, sexual harassment, and job insecurity... We believe in gender justice.'"

"As we stand united with women and our allies, we will be CLOSED on Wednesday March 8th. We hope that you will join women in our efforts to secure equity, justice and human rights for ALL."
