I am mindful, with this reminder, of how important these actions are for ourselves, our daughters, our grand daughters, our families, our communities, our country.
Six months old & still making history
Can you believe that TODAY is
exactly 6 months since millions of us came together, on all seven continents,
for the Women’s March? January 21st was the largest single-day demonstration in
world history, bringing people of all races, ethnicities, religions,
immigration statuses, sexual identities, gender expressions, economic statuses,
ages and abilities together to call for a world that is equitable, just and
safe for all, where the human rights and dignity of each person is protected
and our planet is safe from destruction.
Over the past six months,
you’ve been part of an intersectional and inclusive resistance movement aimed
at holding corporations, Congress, and the Administration accountable for
oppressive agendas that marginalize our vulnerable communities. We’ve
accomplished so much already!
• 10 Actions / 100 Days – We turned the energy of the march into a sustained movement,
beginning with the spring of resistance!
• #NoBan Rallies – We united at airports in numbers too great to ignore to stop
the Muslim ban.
• A Day Without a Woman – We showed how crucial women are to our economies and our
communities with a one-day strike and boycott.
• #DropOReilly – We did that! Bill, bye.
• Heath Care
Demonstrations – Phone calls, letters,
protests, sit-ins, die-ins, the massive outcry to protect our health care is
terrifying Republicans!
• NRA2DOJ March – We took on the NRA and marched 18.6 miles for justice for
Philando Castile.
After six months, we’re only
getting stronger. Women’s March is a nationwide phenomenon and we won’t stop
until women’s rights are human rights, for women and femmes of all races,
ethnicities, religions, immigration statuses, sexual identities, gender
expressions, economic statuses, ages and abilities.
What’s next? We’re going to make history again with the first ever Women’s March conference, a chance for all of us to come together again to learn, build, strategize and organize – towards 2018 and beyond! SAVE THE DATE: October 26-28, and stay tuned for details in the coming weeks.
Thank you for being part of the movement for human rights and dignity for all!
