WHAT MAKES THIS WOMEN'S MARCH 2.0 DIFFERENT?
Our Women's March - Power Together TN CONFERENCE!

We knew that marching would not be enough to kick us off for 2018, which is a midterm election year and a time to transform our anger into something more powerful, transcendent and sustainable. We need to go big!

Thousands will choose to attend the conference for an entire day of activism, and thousands more will join us for the march and rally for free. TICKETS ARE FOR THE CONFERENCE AND CAUCUS LUNCHEONS. Scholarships are available.

Since that day in November when we sat in disbelief watching our televisions turn the electoral map red and then woke to the horror of a presidency of bigotry and reckless tweets, we decided as a nation that we weren’t giving in. We have seen a nation come to life full of advocacy and protest. We have taken to the street to fight for justice for our immigrant neighbors and stopped Congress from repealing the Affordable Care Act. In one year we’ve seen women stand up to the power of Hollywood and say that we will not tolerate sexual harassment or sexual assault anymore. More women are running for political office than ever before. We have taken a stand against hatred in its most evil form and pushed it from of our town squares and out of our state. We have worked hard, but this isn’t the time to quit. The fight has just begun. We have much to do as the 2018 midterms are coming and this is the time to organize. This is our time! #PowerToThePolls

We look forward to seeing you there!
