#indigenouswomenrise #womensmarch
Join the rapidly growing circle of Indigenous women and hundreds of thousands of women on January 21st to march on Washington, D.C. and stand together in solidarity for the protection of our rights, our safety, our health, and our families. The Women’s March on Washington will send a bold message to the incoming presidential administration and to the world that women's rights are human rights.
Recognizing that our vibrant and diverse communities are the original protectors and strength of our country, we call upon Indigenous women to join this demonstration. Representation from Indigenous women at the march will ensure Indigenous Women’s voices are heard and raise the visibility of Indigenous Women and Issues. Organizers for the Indigenous Women’s group include: Advance Native Political Leadership, Americans for Indian Opportunity, Native Americans in Philanthropy, Native Voice Network, Native Voices Rising, National Indian Women’s Resource Center, UltraViolet, Continental Network of Indigenous Women of the Americas, North American Region, National Indigenous Women's Resource Center, Women for Climate Justice Contingent, and Indigenous Environmental Network. More partners joining every day!
