The leaders of the Women's March on Washington are helping to coordinate protests in more than 50 countries marking International Women's Day. The events, dubbed "A Day Without Women" or the "Women's Strike," aim to show "the economic power and significance that women have on the U.S. and global economies," according to the organizers. Participants are being encouraged to skip work or school, and avoid buying anything. School districts shut down for the day in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and Alexandria, Virginia, because of the high number of teachers who said they wanted to participate in the strike.
