FIRST WE MARCHED. NOW WE ACT.
Women's March Power to The Polls: St Petersburg Day of Action! In 2017 We Marched! In 2018 We Act!
Hello Women's March Florida! We are so excited to see the tremendous amount of enthusiasm for our one year anniversary! On January 21, 2018, thousands of women, femmes and allies will come together in Williams Park in downtown St Petersburg, to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the Women’s March and to launch our collective 2018 Women’s March agenda: #PowerToThePolls.
From the Women’s March to the Women’s Convention, we’ve seen how powerful we are when we gather together, share space and lift each other up.
This anniversary event in St Petersburg will be a community event focusing on voter registration, ending voter suppression in Florida and supporting our marginalized communities. We seek to register new voters, engage impacted communities, harness our collective energy to advocate for policies and candidates that reflect our values, and collaborate with our partners to elect more women and progressives candidates to office. We will host tremendous speakers, community activists, artist and performers.
We will post the final event line-up when have everything finalized! Please Join Us!
When: January 21, 2018
Time: 12:30pm- 4:30pm
Where: Williams Park, 350 2nd Ave N, St. Petersburg, FL 33701

In the artist village they will be facilitating a "Name Your Abuser" wall, collecting #Metoo stories, and will offer zines about consent, what to do if you are assaulted or harassed (including in the workplace) and more!
The St. Pete Women's Collective hosts a monthly survivor speak out and support group at Black Crow Coffee Co led by a licensed mental health counselor. Please consider supporting this group by donating here:
