Preparation is key!
Hey, John!
Are you all set for the Women’s March tomorrow? If not — no worries! We’ve got you covered 😎👇
LOCATION:
Local March/Rally - Click here to get details on a march or rally happening near you!
Washington, DC March - Folger Park at 11 a.m. ET (click here for event maps!)
WHAT TO BRING:
- Small backpacks and bags are allowed
- Comfortable shoes
- Mask & Hand sanitizer (we will have hand sanitizing stations)
- A jacket (it might be chilly!)
- Portable phone charger
- Your feminist spirit, your defiance to injustice, and your demands to protect our freedoms
- A sign with your favorite slogan!
WHAT NOT TO BRING:
- Any weapons, or anything that can be construed as a weapon, including pocket knives, multi-tools, mace, scissors, etc.
- Any illegal drugs (while marijuana is legal in DC, the march will be on federal property and National Park land, where marijuana is still illegal).
- Coat-hanger imagery: We do not want to accidentally reinforce the right wing talking points that self-managed abortions are dangerous, scary and harmful.
- Handmaid’s Tale-themed items: The use of Handmaid's Tale imagery to characterize the controlling of women’s reproduction has proliferated, primarily by white women across the country, since the show has gained popularity. This message continues to create more fragmentation, often around race and class, because it erases the fact that Black women, undocumented women, incarcerated women, poor women, and disabled women have always had their reproduction freedom controlled in this country. This is not a dystopian past or future.
That’s about it, John! We’ll send one more email tomorrow with some last-minute details, but go ahead and share this one with your friends to get ready for the Women’s Wave tomorrow. 💪
See you out there!
