We are marching to make our voices heard.
We are marching to stand up for essential workers and school communities, all being made to work in unsafe environments because profits, during a pandemic, are being prioritized over the needs of the people.
We are marching because our liberation is bound to the liberation of all our sisters.
We are marching because we must create a society in which all women—including Black women, Indigenous women, poor women, immigrant women, disabled women, Jewish women, Muslim women, Latinx women, Asian and Pacific Islander women, lesbian, bi, queer and trans women—are free and able to care for and nurture themselves and their families, however they are formed, in safe and healthy environments free from structural impediments.
We are marching because the last wishes of the Honorable Ruth Bader Ginsberg are being disregarded to force through a Supreme Court Justice who does not believe in the fundamental rights of women to live in freedom.
We are marching because as Dr. King said, “We cannot walk alone. And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back.”
Together, we can make a new world.
