Let's March Again!
It’s time to make history again!
Grab your hats and join us for a day of celebrating our accomplishments as a city, state and country, and renewing our commitment to activism in the coming year.
On January 21st 2017, approximately 673 sister marches took place around the world including gatherings on all seven continents. With over three million participants in cities from DC to Walla Walla, the Women’s March is believed to be the largest protest in US history. This truly historic event marked the rise of the Resistance that millions of us have joined to oppose the policies of those that seek to marginalize women, people of color, immigrants and the LGBTQ community.
Like last year, this will be an all-inclusive, nonpartisan, positive, peaceful and family-friendly event.
We will continue to post here about the march event and opportunities to volunteer with our organizers. So, please check back often. Please invite people who you believe support Women and Women's rights. Please be respectful of our event and remain positive to all who want to March.
