Happy Women's History Month, John! It’s nice to meet you, I'm Ann.
I’m reaching out today because I want to share with you the volunteer work I’ve been doing with Women’s March and explain why I want more women like me to have the opportunity to get involved in this fight for a feminist future.
After you’re done reading my story, I hope you can donate $3 or anything you can to Women’s March in honor of Women's History Month to help fund their feminist training and organizing programs for this month and beyond.
I was inspired to start volunteering with Women’s March leading up to the 2020 election because I knew — like so many other women on this team — that it would take all of us doing our part to flip the Senate and the White House.
I knew working with women would be the right way to go about it because WE are the doers, the movers, the builders, and the caretakers of every organization.
Together, me and other Women’s Marchers texted potential women voters in battleground states to help drive the voter turnout we needed to win big in November. The more I volunteered and participated with these women, the more energized I felt to do more.
So when Women’s March invited me to attend the Feminist Fundamentals Short Course — a training course to develop feminist leadership skills — I thought what a great idea to take this leap to dive deeper into the movement.
Here are me and my classmates in the Feminist Fundamentals Short Course!
I learned so much from the women who spoke on intersectionality, the social culture, establishing our power within, and how we are connected or not connected to the powerful institutions in our culture. I hope to implement the structure of organizing that I learned based on the Women’s March’s principles of inclusivity and anti-racism in order to create action at a local level here in Palatine and within our state of Illinois along with the women in our Women2Women Circle group, NW Women’s VOICES (Vowing to Overcome Inequities and Committed to the Environment).
I know firsthand the powerful impact Women’s March’s volunteer and training programs have on women like me — they inspire us to organize in our communities and fight for the feminist future we deserve. The work Women’s Marchers are doing is why we flipped the White House and the Senate last election and why I believe we can continue turning the tides of this country.
The Feminist Fundamentals Short Course and all of the training programs Women’s March offers are free to attend — but they can only stay that way with enough grassroots funding. So today, if you can afford it, will you make a donation in honor of Women's History Month to help power Women’s March’s organizing programs so we can continue harnessing the power of women?
Thank you for reading my story. See you out there!
Ann
