Since the inaugural women’s march, we have witnessed constant attacks on our health care, our bodies, our communities, and our Internet. And we have not stopped fighting back.
To celebrate our one-year anniversary, Napervile Women’s March Action will host a local candidate event.
Together, we will show that women are not backing down... we’re stepping up. We’re running for office at unprecedented levels and we’re going to solve problems together - from DuPage county to Springfield to D.C.
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.
Power to the Polls:
This anniversary event will kick-off a national voter registration and mobilization tour targeting swing states 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 progressive candidates to office.
