John,
Five years ago today, millions of women poured into the streets in the wake of Trump’s inauguration in what became the largest single-day of protest in American history.
We knew that Trump’s administration would be cruel to women, families, people of color, and immigrants. But we were not daunted, and we did not back down. Instead we channeled this energy into action, and we took to the streets.
Since that day, we have transformed from a march to a movement that responds to the challenges of everyday women, mobilizing our priorities into decisive action. And we are just getting started.
Women’s March wasn’t just built to resist – it was built to persist and transform. The activism and political participation we’ve cultivated over the past five years has sowed the seeds for an enduring progressive movement led by women across race and place.
This is what Women’s March does best: We unite women and harness our collective power. That’s how we ended Trump’s administration and this is how we’re going to overcome every challenge we face right now to demand our politicians deliver meaningful change and protections for women.
It’s not enough that Biden has won, democracy and justice for all needs to win, and there is much more work to do to hold our leaders accountable and secure those victories.
Especially now, as we organize against the worst attacks we’ve ever seen on abortion access, we must remember the power of our movement. We must continue fighting together to make abortion legal, accessible and free for everyone in America — especially the Black and Brown communities hit hardest by restrictions.
Together,
Women’s March
