We want to share with you some of our most powerful moments from the past 6 months. After you’re done reading, can you chip in anything you can to help us continue doing this critical work?
John,
At the end of the month, we will reach the halfway point of the most important election year of our lifetime.
The Women’s March team has been putting all of our energy into holding this administration accountable and building a movement that can make sure this is Trump’s last year in office.
In January, we organized our 4th annual Women’s March. Hundreds of thousands of people rose up on January 18th in D.C. and across the country to finish what we started and make 2020 the year we defeat Trump once and for all.
In February, we fought to hold Trump accountable for his crimes and corruption. Many were doubtful we’d ever get this far, but we convinced our leaders to vote for impeachment and put Trump on trial before the Senate. None of this would have been possible unless we raised our voices for justice.
In March and April, all of our lives were changed by the COVID-19 pandemic. We quickly pivoted to fighting for protections for our essential workers, nurses, and families. We also understood that this was going to be an important time to come together as a community. So we started hosting webinars to talk about the challenges we were facing in this crisis. Thousands of Women’s Marchers came together to support each other on these online webinars.
In May and June, we responded to the deaths of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd with a call for justice. We understood that this is an opportunity to finally address the institutions that enforce systemic racism in our country and pass reform in our communities.
Just in the past few weeks, more than 89,000 people watched our webinars: Defund the Police 101 and Understanding and Transforming White Womanhood.
We partnered with and amplified the Movement for Black Lives over the Juneteenth weekend. We shared information about actions, recruited participants from our base, and helped M4BL troubleshoot planning and logistics.
We raised money for Juxtaposition Arts, a Minneapolis-based Black-led arts non-profit.
Today, we are still hosting trainings where we provide resources and tools for Women’s Marchers working to #DefundthePolice in their own communities.
We know that there’s still so much more work ahead of us this year. Especially as we continue to deal with the crises of COVID-19 and mass-unemployment, it’s critical that our organization has the funds to keep fighting for our families and the most vulnerable. The stakes have never been higher to defeat Trump this election.
But we can’t do this work without your support. We rely on grassroots donors giving us $5, $10, $100, or whatever they can to fund our staff and programs.
The well-being and safety of everyone is the utmost concern of Women’s March during this crisis.
This is a difficult time for many. That’s why we’re only asking you to donate if you can afford to do so. We want you to take care of your loved ones first.
Women’s March is a 501c(4) organization. Your generous support helps us prepare for fights we see coming and those we don’t. Donations are not tax deductible. If you prefer to make a tax-deductible gift, we encourage you to support the Women’s March Network. Gifts to the Network support our organizing, communications, advocacy and public education efforts.
