March 2016 - International Women's Day Geocoin

The March sherpa geocoin from Chis Mackey is something a little different than the usual St. Patty's stuff. It turns out that the USA, while progressive in a lot of things is about 85 years behind on the International Women's Day movement. Even freakin' Iran and Afghanistan have gotten on board with this, but we're just now getting it into Congress to be voted into National Holiday status for the very first time. If it goes through, it will be the first annual celebration in the US, but even if it doesn't it is HUGE in Europe and getting really big in the USA.

They're concentrating on Social Media this year for their campaign into 2016 with the #Make It Happen and are using White, Green and Purple as their signature colors with in particular purple banners and ribbons. They've traditionally used Rosettes as a design embellishment in the past and a Unisex symbol as the uniting of women and men in a common status level for work, politics, education, finance, environment and more.

It seemed perfect timing to celebrate women in caching and particularly the huge number of women PathTaggers!
