Hey there, John.
This week has been a whirlwind for this Women's March team. In response to breaking news about attacks on Roe v. Wade and the GOP's attempts to erase the events of Jan. 6 from history, our women-led movement came together to fight back, and to show that women and our allies will NOT tolerate these Republican attacks on our rights, freedoms, and democracy.
But we can't slow down now, John. There are some important actions for Women's Marchers to take in the upcoming week — so read on to hear how you can stay involved in our fight for a feminist future.
1. Call your Senators to urge them to pass the For The People Act.
For democracy to work for all of us, it must include us all. The For the People Act will protect our freedom to vote by making voting options accessible across all states, will give voters equal voice by preventing billionaires from buying our elections, and will help elect leaders who govern in our interests by drawing congressional districts to give fair representation for all.
Here, you'll find directions, phone numbers, and a simple script for when you make your call. Call your Senators NOW and tell them to vote YES on the For the People Act.
2. Join tomorrow's panel discussion: A Movement To Meet The Moment.
Hear from prominent social justice leaders — including Women's March's own Executive Director Rachel Carmona and WM Board of Directors co-President Rinku Sen — about how this moment in our resistance requires a different approach to meet our greatest challenges. Throwing the old play book at our current realities will not lead to the transformation that is needed in our country and for ALL people.
Join us tomorrow over Zoom at 10 a.m. ET to learn how we're coming together to change how we organize to win for ALL of us. RSVP for United Vision For Idaho's event: A Movement To Meet The Moment.
3. Take part in a National Service Industry Strike this Wednesday, May 26.
If you're able to do so, please join Women's March and our progressive partners at One Fair Wage, UltraViolet, the Sunrise Movement, and others for a National Service Industry strike.
We are banding together in solidarity to call for a $15 minimum wage. If you can, please join a wage strike in your city.
4. Last but not least, you can always show your Women's March pride by shopping in our newly relaunched Official Women's March Shop.
