It’s time to make history again!
Get ready, Seattle and join us for a day of collective empowerment. Why are we marching? To engage all people to support women's rights, racial equity, human rights, civil rights, disability rights, LGBTQIA rights, veteran's rights, workers’ rights, immigrant rights, reproductive rights, Indigenous people's rights and environmental justice.
This year’s march is intended to highlight organizations who are working to bring about change in our communities every day, while energizing all of us in the year to come to continue intensive civic engagement, in a non-partisan but progressive way.
We are currently partnered with:
Be the Change Network
Truman National Security Project — Seattle Chapter
Huskies for NARAL Pro-Choice Washington
ACLU
NAACP
NARAL Pro-Choice Washington
Oxfam
Outright Action International
One America
CAIR
Fuse Washington
Planned Parenthood
Stronger Together
The Yemen Relief and Reconstruction Foundation
Act Now Mantra
SEIU775
The Riveter
CMS
Like last year, this will be an all-inclusive, peaceful and family-friendly event.
The march will start at Cal Anderson Park and head to Pike Street before turning right onto 4th Avenue. Marchers will enter Seattle Center via Thomas Street. Pre-march programming, which will include speakers, performers and musicians, will start at 10.00AM and run till 11.30AM. We strongly encouraged to use Seattle’s Light Rail system to get to the start of the march. The Capitol Hill Light Rail Station is steps from Cal Anderson Park.
