#WeMarchFor

Despite much of the progress made in modern society, women of color across the globe remain marginalized and have to fight for basic rights and freedoms that should be afforded to all humans. This continues be a daily struggle for these women - women like us.  

Our witnessing and experiencing of these injustices motivate us as we organize what we are calling the Women’s Freedom March.  Our vision involves providing a safe, supportive, and loving space for the oftentimes silenced women in our communities to lift their voices and share information about the work they are doing. We also want to inspire and empower everyone in attendance to return home and provide the same support and information to the women in their communities.

From now until the end of Women’s History Month, (March 31st) we will continue to share reasons that the Women’s Freedom March will not only be a helpful tool, but a necessary one via the “#WeMarchFor " hashtag.

We encourage each of you to use the hashtag to tweet and share the issues you believe are pertinent in the lives of women of color.

Ex: #WeMarchFor wage equality, not just across gender, but across race &  ethnicity.

Ex: #WeMarchFor an end to the lack of quality healthcare that disproportionately affects WoC.

On March 31, to close out Women’s History Month, we will ask that you share with us your personal and individual reasons for marching by using the “#IMarchFor" hashtag.

Ex: #IMarchFor better prenatal care for WoC mothers-to-be bc my sister couldn't afford it.

Ex: #IMarchFor women like me who have survived domestic violence
