John, we knew it was an ambitious decision to plan a nationwide march in just a couple of weeks. But it’s clear that 2021 is already one of the worst years in recent history for women and we must rise up to the urgency of this moment.
→ We’re currently witnessing an unprecedented number of attacks on our reproductive freedom. 25 states have already directly requested the Supreme Court to dismantle Roe v. Wade and states like Texas are enacting oppressive abortion bans we haven’t seen in decades.
→ Women are experiencing the worst effects of the COVID-19 recession. In particular, women of color have been impacted the most by wage cuts, layoffs, loss of health insurance due to unemployment, and increasing child care costs.
→ And the GOP has also been passing a record number of voter suppression laws that especially impact women of color in an attempt to stifle our voices.
But we don’t say all of this just to alarm you, John.
We want to make it abundantly clear that despite the efforts of a small group of conservative extremists – women have the power to defend our rights and demand the protections we need. But it’s going to take all of us working together to survive these crises and thrive onward. That’s why we’re rushing to put together a nationwide mobilization in just 24 days to defend our right to choose an abortion and demand the feminist future we deserve.
Women’s March was born out of resistance after Trump won in 2016.
We spent four years marching, organizing millions of women voters, and mobilizing this women-led movement to defeat Trump. And we did it. It’s why we know that this movement is capable of moving mountains — and why we're preparing to march again to defend our abortion rights in just 24 days.
It’s clear that our work to protect women and push toward a feminist future is far from over. Especially with the rise in attacks on our reproductive freedom, voting rights, and policies that would lift up women in this pandemic — it’s urgent we unite to address some of the most critical crises women have faced in decades.
Let’s do this,
Women’s March
