[1]Women's March
Hi John — it’s
Kate, I’m the Organizing Director for Women’s March.
I want to share with you a special initiative I’ve been working on to help
train current and future feminist leaders!
In less than a week, Women’s March will kickoff our Feminist Fundamentals
Short Course — a three-part online training to help Women’s Marchers
take their activism to the next level — and we can’t wait to get started!
I’m going to tell you more about this innovative program and its impact in
just a moment. I’m also going to explain why we’re setting a $10,000 goal
to cover the costs, but if you’re short on time: [ [link removed] ]will you chip in $3 or
anything you can to help fund our Feminist Fundamentals Short Course?

As we continue to face challenges to our reproductive freedom and tackle
white supremacy and misinformation, it’s important we grow and fortify our
movement by training new activists, growing the skills of volunteers we
already have, and bringing in a new generation of leaders for the fights
ahead.
Here’s what you need to know about our Feminist Fundamentals Short
Course:
For this training program, we’ve recruited some of our most active Women’s
Marchers who are ready to take their activism to the next level. In these
small-group sessions, participants will develop their skills and
leadership to organize within their communities, grow our movement, and
build our feminist future.

Here’s one of the exercises we use to facilitate meaningful conversations
These training sessions are also a valuable opportunity for our attendees
to connect and develop the life-long kinship that is so integral to
building power in our movement. As we enter the third year of the COVID-19
pandemic, we know that interdependence and connection are what will save
us from isolation and give us the resilience to challenge failed
structures.
Our participants have gone on to organize local Women2Women circles,
mobilize voters in their communities, plan marches and actions on key
issues, and much more. It’s actions like these that have fueled our
movement’s successes – from defeating Trump, to flipping the Senate! Here
are just some of the personal stories our former attendees have shared:
"I don't know where to stop applying the things I've learned from the
Women's March! Kindness - recognizing that people are human - and using
kindness and personal stories to fight the fights we must fight."
"I took away that I needed to hold on to feminist values as personal
values and speak for justice and equality as often as needed!"
And the best part? This training is FREE! At Women’s March, we want to see
women of every race, gender expression, lived experience, sexual
orientation, ability, ethnic background, class origin, country of birth,
region, immigration status or religion thrive. That starts with bringing
more women and feminists into our movement – which is why making this
program accessible is so important to us.

Feminist Fundamentals Short Course? We’re aiming to raise $10,000 to cover
costs like our virtual training tools and staff salaries.

To keep this critical training free, we’re relying on grassroots donations
from Women’s Marchers like you,
John.
Thanks for your support,
Kate Shapiro
