Hi John, I’m Selene.
I am on the finance team at Women's March, and I wanted to send you an update on our finances before our October fundraising deadline tomorrow.
For some reason, over these past couple of days, our fundraising numbers have been trending downward, while our work has remained as strong as ever.
Since January, Women’s March has:
- Organized 2000+ nationwide actions and mobilized 1.3M feminists, surpassing our annual goal halfway through the year
- Trained over 10,000 people in mutual aid strategy and action
- Expanded alliances with labor, climate, and reproductive rights partners, and launched global partnerships in Brazil and across Europe
- Launched our Reading the Revolution Book Club and an Organizing Fellowship to grow grassroots leadership
Women are facing the most severe attacks in our organization’s history. Fundraising should be the last thing on our minds, but we need resources to fight back. Our rights are being stripped away in courts, targeted by extremists, and traded away by politicians who hope women will stay silent.
That’s why today I’m coming to you directly to ask: Can you chip in $5 or anything you can before our end-of-month fundraising deadline tonight? Every dollar counts to make sure we can stay on track with our funding goals.
Women’s Marchers are already building a 2026 game plan with escalated actions, more convenings, and new spaces to connect outside billionaire-controlled platforms.
But to continue doing this critical work, we simply can’t afford to fall short on fundraising goals and cut corners in our organizing budget.
Remember this: history proves there is nothing more powerful than women organizing together for our feminist values. It’s how we won before, and it’s how we’ll win again.
Together,
Selene, Finance at Women’s March
