International Women’s Day is less than a month away, and we seek producers to submit work for a 2-hour Pacifica Special to air on March 8.

Help us keep this tradition alive as we bring attention to women impacted by the war at home and abroad, women we’ve lost, female role models from history and the present, and how women are moving forward in realizing our power.

This year’s special will be pre-recorded and distributed to sister stations and affiliates on March 7 via Audioport and on March 8 on the Ku satellite. Renee Feltz will coordinate and edit submissions, and produce the final product. Please see the instructions below for how to get involved, and submit early!
