John,
Here at Women's March, we know that change starts in your community.
That's why we started our Women2Women Circles program — a way for women and feminists to connect and organize in their own communities, share their stories, and build feminist organizing power all across the country.
We’ve seen time after time the influence and power Women’s Marchers have in their communities to deliver the change we need. Right now, we’re focusing on the research and development of feminist budget campaigns.
So before we start ramping up our work to create a Women’s March Feminist Budget — we want to invite you, John, to attend our next Circles Info Session and join our women-led organizing movement.
In just a moment, I’m going to share with you more details about our exciting vision for a Women’s March Budget. We hope after reading this email, you’ll sign up to join our Circles Info Session on July 21st from 8:00-9:00 pm EST.
Ever since we started the Women2Women Circles program in Fall of 2020, Women’s Marchers have been coming together with their friends and family to do work including persuading voters, distributing PPE to health care workers, organizing protests, writing letters to Congress, and meeting with local leaders to reallocate money from police budgets.
We’re proud of the work Women’s Marchers have been leading in the circles — but we know that there’s still so much progress we need to make to bring our vision of a feminist future to life.
We are guided by the words of Martin Luther King and countless others who have reminded us throughout decades that ‘Budgets are moral documents’. Too often, the resources and support we urgently need to bring racial, economic, and gender justice to our communities are blocked during budgetary processes.
That’s why we’re excited to start working with Women2Women Circles to organize and advocate for local budgets that reflect our feminist values. When you start your own Circle, we provide you the training and tools you need to start doing this kind of work in your communities.
See you there!
Kate and the WM Organizing Team
