Dear MoveOn member,
March is Women's History Month, and we want to take this opportunity to honor some of the incredible women who have shaped our laws, our culture, and our lives—including many who are often forgotten by history.
But Women's History Month is not just about the women who came before us; it is also about recognizing the work being done today to break down barriers and advance equity, as well as the work that must continue into the future.
We all play a role in this fight, and to both celebrate our history and continue to spread the message that the work to protect the rights of all women—trans women, cisgender women, women of color, poor women, queer women, immigrant women, Indigenous women, and more—MoveOn has worked with artist Fanesha Fabre to create this special-edition "We Are Women's History" shirt, available in both short and long sleeve and sizes 3XL-XS.

Here are just a few of the women featured on this shirt:
Shirley Chisholm was the first Black woman ever elected to Congress, where she became known as "Fighting Shirley" for her fierce dedication to racial and gender equity, as well as to ending the Vietnam War. In 1972, she became both the first woman and first Black person ever to seek a presidential nomination from either of the two major political parties.1
Dolores Huerta is one of the most influential labor leaders in the last century. She worked with Cesar Chavez to found the United Farm Workers Association, and she organized multiple large strikes to protest the poor working conditions faced by farm workers. Her work led to the passage of multiple laws protecting the rights of workers which continue to impact hundreds of thousands of workers today.2
Mae Jemison always loved science and space exploration, but growing up, she was disappointed to never see a woman among the crews of astronauts on missions to space. She became determined to become an astronaut herself, and in 1992, Mae became the first Black woman ever to travel to space.3 Since then, Mae has led efforts to use science and technology to advance social change, and she currently serves on a special governmental taskforce working to ensure that interstellar travel is possible within the next 100 years.4
They join others including Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Kamala Harris, and Malala Yousafzai, on these beautifully designed shirts, and we hope that you will wear them proudly and share their stories with your family and friends.
