The Marxist-Leninist Daily

TML Daily continues its photo review of actions carried out by workers and their allies in 2016.

International Women's Day on March 8 brought to the fore women's fight to affirm their rights, and highlighted the leading role of women in the movements to defend the rights of all, against imperialist war, to uphold public right against monopoly right and many other important issues.

The anti-war movement also marked the 13th anniversary of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq and the fifth anniversary of the NATO-led invasion of Libya with demonstrations across the country. Building this work is more important than ever, with the Trudeau Liberals increasing Canada's involvement in U.S. imperialist military interventions at a time of heightened tensions on the world scale.

in wars of aggression.
