Yet we also see there are areas to make our statement stronger and more inclusive.</p><p style="Margin:1em 0px">We are therefore <b>inviting inclusive edits</b> to the political statement of the Women’s Global Strike campaign, from now until 5 February 2020. We ask that edits
be made to the English version via this Google document, so that we can then work together with our translators to update the 7 other language translations. If this Google document is not accessible to you, please send your suggested changes via email to Tetet Lauron, our campaign coordinator, at <a href="http://tracking.cividesk.net/tracking/click?d=gZUWER2xsYGZDX3i8n_9TWBTDNdR3HPnXSX3u3NWENz4ZjmiKMH4yuH6DZWfOk9cK2oJ0cgOG9y7sHXQOuQahOsgS1OD7kp4xa__AJzCPi_Oheh3q87ZLzFkBWUKNAqDkLJJ5aQuUQ6ed-TyOYFvsqUuvcoXo3wkl7Mp3V_om0P1NdnPmlG9ZCh4YakfHFTY9911ANwoLGbg1VQKGE0kslM1" style="color:#3f3f3f;color:#4d85bb;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">tetetneralauron@gmail.com</a>.</p><p style="Margin:1em 0px">What do we mean by “inclusive edits”? We welcome changes that give recognition to more identities, struggles and demands, but would be cautious with suggestions that may weaken our critique of
inequality and injustice. We also wish to maintain the spirit of our four core demands which were agreed upon in consultation with many feminist and labour organisations. We do encourage adding to the demands or expanding on them as they do connect strongly with the existing work that all of you joining this campaign are doing. </p><p style="Margin:1em 0px"><br><b>Some of the proposed edits include: </b></p><blockquote><p style="Margin:1em 0px;Margin-bottom:0px;Margin-top:0px">> Removing or modifying the reference to national GDPs as the GDP itself is a problematic measure of the economy that focuses on profit<br>> Additional paragraph highlighting multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination<br>>
Strengthening our critique of the climate crisis and call for climate justice </p></blockquote><p style="Margin:1em 0px">We hope this process is clear to all and look forward to your suggestions.</p><p style="Margin:1em 0px"><br></p><hr><p style="Margin:1em 0px"><br><span style="color:rgb(128,0,0)"><b>2.
