It’s a “Day Without a Woman” on International Women’s Day. Strikes and events are planned all over the country and here in Sonoma County. Here in Sonoma County, women will gather at noon at the Federal Building in Santa Rosa, 1pm at Prince Gateway Park on Santa Rosa Avenue, and in Sonoma Plaza at 1pm. Those who can’t take the day off work are asked to wear red and avoid spending today, unless it’s a woman-owned business.
