John,
This March, Women’s History Month, takes on a whole new level of importance in 2021.
For the past year in this pandemic, women have faced unprecedented challenges. Women, especially Black and brown communities, are experiencing the worst effects of the COVID-19 recession. This pandemic has forced 3 million women out of the workforce. We’ve been impacted the most by wage cuts, layoffs, loss of health insurance due to unemployment, and increasing child care costs.
Yet in the face of all of these challenges, women were the ones leading relief efforts and organizing to turn the tides of our country. Women worked together to make masks when Trump refused to rush PPE for health care workers, women have been the caregivers of our families, and women mobilized in historic numbers during the election to flip the White House and the Senate. We’re beyond proud of all of the Women’s Marchers who volunteered to get out the vote, formed Women2Women circles to help distribute aid, marched with us in the streets to demand a better future, attended our organizing trainings to learn how to #DefundthePolice in our communities, and donated to fund this work.
Your support is the reason why we defeated Trump and why we were able to mobilize throughout this pandemic. We’re counting on it especially now as we lead the charge throughout Biden’s administration to demand the progressive agenda we fought for. That’s why today, we’re asking you to show your support for our women-led organizing movement not just during Women’s History Month — but all year round.
For many organizations like Women’s March, Women’s History Month is a hugely important time for fundraising.
Often what we raise during this month determines a large portion of our budget for the next fiscal year. Every dollar you give determines how much funding we can put into our training programs to combat disinformation online, our online tools for our Women2Women organizing circles, future get-out-the-vote programs, webinars, in-person mobilizations, and advocacy work.
We know that many people are struggling this year – but that’s what makes our work even more important. People – especially women – are struggling and it will take a mass movement like ours to demand a fundamental shift in our government.
Especially as we continue to deal with the crises of COVID-19, mass unemployment, and the rise of disinformation, it’s critical that our team has the resources to continue growing this women-led movement and organizing for transformative policies.
Thank you,
Rachel
