These are really difficult times, John.

If you’re like us, your news feeds are flooded with constant, frightening updates on the state of our world. During these scary times, it’s more important than ever that we maintain our connections and find sources of strength and positivity.

That’s why we’re asking you to take a moment to express gratitude for the people in your life who are helping to get you through all of this. During turbulent times, we know that women are often the ones who take care of sick loved ones, keep a family running, figure out child care challenges, and everything in between.

We want to hear about the women in your life who are showing up for you in this crisis and how. To show the strength of our community, we’ll share as many submissions as we can on our social media.

With Women’s History Month well underway, we felt the need to take a step back from the chaos and reset with a moment of appreciation for those who center us.

In the middle of these uneasy times, we can’t forget to recognize and cherish the women, femmes, and allies in our lives who lift us up, help us out, and keep our daily lives afloat.

Now, more than ever, we all need to lean on each other for support. We have to continue to fight for the future we’ve envisioned and, though there might be setbacks and road blocks, we can’t despair.

Only through community, selflessness, and compassion will we be able to survive dark times like these. We should check in on our neighbors and loved ones and be respectful to and compassionate for everyone around us.

Please take a moment and tell us about a woman who inspires you and why you’re grateful to them. We will feature a selection of submissions on our social media.

We’re in this together.

The entire Women’s March Team
