[1]Women's March

  



John, today is
the last day of this whirlwind year.

All of us have been reflecting on 2020 and despite how unexpected and
difficult it was, there’s still a lot of reasons to feel proud and
hopeful. 

It was a busy year, so this email is long, but we wanted to look back and
celebrate everything we’ve done in 2020.

Together, here’s some of what we accomplished in 2020:

In January, we organized our 4th annual Women’s March. Hundreds of
thousands of people rose up on January 18th in D.C. and at over 255 sister
actions across the country with a promise to make 2020 the year we
finished what we started and 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 during these online webinars. You can find all of our webinars

In May and June, we responded to the deaths of Breonna Taylor and George
Floyd with the mandate to defend Black lives. We stood with the leaders of
the Movement for Black Lives to advance the call to defund the police and
pass reforms in our communities. 

* More than 89,000 people watched our webinars: Defund the Police 101
and Understanding and Transforming White Womanhood. 
* We partnered with the Movement for Black Lives to amplify the
Juneteenth weekend of action and their call for Donald Trump to
resign. 
* We raised money for Juxtaposition Arts, a Minneapolis-based Black-led
arts non-profit. 
* Following our trainings, hundreds of Women's Marchers wrote letters to
local newspaper editors, testified at budget hearings, learned about
their local budgets and more.

fight for racial justice and protect Black lives in your community. 

In July and August, we launched our [ [link removed] ]Feminist Future Webinar series and
hosted our first weekly phone and text banks to connect with women voters
on-on-one.  

During our first two #TextBackTuesday volunteer shifts, over 1,000
volunteers sent more than half a million texts to women voters in crucial
states with our partner Women’s March Action. Through these 1-1
conversations, we made sure voters knew how to vote by mail and ensure
their vote is counted. In the end, we had over 21,000 volunteers send
21,668,506 texts.

In September, we launched Women2Women circles to build power locally to be
better prepared regardless of the outcome of the election. We trained
volunteers to recruit other women in their own communities to get out the
vote, start their own #DefundthePolice campaigns, and more. 

We continued to hold weekly text and bank bank shifts to reach out to
infrequent women voters in key swing states, as well as contact voters in
South Carolina to defeat Lindsey Graham. 

After the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, our movement stepped up
to organize over 7,000 vigils and pressured the Senate not to confirm
another justice until after the election. 

In October, we organized a national uprising two weeks before the election
to signal that we the people demand that our votes be counted. On October
17, there were over 440 actions in all 50 states and in D.C. 

We showed our power the same way this all started – with massive,
women-led resistance in the streets. And on November 3, we brought that
same power and determination to the polls to end this dangerous
presidency.

We also expanded our Digital Defenders program to train 1,200 activists on
how to combat voter suppression and disinformation online leading up to
Election Day. Our volunteers helped debunk myths, fight voter
intimidation, and share accurate information about voting.

In November, we fought to ensure that every vote was counted and were
prepared to protect the results of the election in the streets with The
Frontline. We immediately began our work to demand that the Biden
Administration enact progressive policies and appoint progressive women to
at least half of the Cabinet position. 

We also pivoted our get out the vote operation to Georgia, where we
launched a COVID-safe canvassing program with SONG Power in addition to
weekly text banks to women voters in Georgia. 

In December, we continued our work in Georgia and launched our
#ForwardTogether virtual series with The Frontline to share our vision for
the future and demand the investments our communities deserve.

None of this work would have been possible without thousands of
grassroots donations.

[ [link removed] ]If you can, please make
a gift today to help
us start 2021 strong and meet our end-of-year deadline. 

We know that there’s still so much more work ahead of us. Especially as we
continue to deal with the crises of COVID-19, mass unemployment, and the
rise of disinformation, it’s critical that our movement keeps fighting for
our families and the most vulnerable. 

The stakes have never been higher to flip the Senate, build back an
economy that puts women and families first, and build a feminist movement
so that everyday women have the power to shape political outcomes
everywhere. 

This year has been a WILD ride, but we have come so incredibly far and
achieved so much together in such a short amount of time. 

Here’s to an even more powerful 2021. And we wish you all a Happy New
Year.

Gratefully,

Women’s March Team
