Women’s March

🚨Happening Now🚨Across the country, women are sending a clear message: #weareJaneDoe and we've had enough.

They count on us being angry and alone, from the title IX office to the courtroom. On October 8, they get all of us at once, organized and angry together.

The flight from “free pussy” to “grab ’em by the pussy” is direct. A lawsuit says Cornell frat brothers drugged and raped a student, then advertised it on Snapchat. LSU found a football player responsible for rape and he still suits up on Saturdays.

OUR DEMANDS: the bare minimum From the frat house to the White House, it’s the same playbook: men win and women pay.

Fraternity members barely got a slap on the wrist for drugging and violently raping Jane Doe. LSU called a football player committing rape “an error in judgment.” This country put a rapist in the Oval Office and a predator sits on the Supreme Court.

The epidemic of sexual violence holds auditions in the frat house and does prime time in the White House. Cornell and LSU are not exceptions, they are examples of rape culture on campuses and communities across the country.

Survivors of sexual violence deserve justice. Jane Doe and Kendall Francis and countless others have come forward, demanding accountability. Amplify their call #IamJaneDoe this week to demand accountability from the frat house to the White House.

Every woman we know carries the fear of sexual violence in her body. We carry it in the keys between our fingers, the drink we never set down, the text to a friend when we Uber home. The fear does its job every day.

Sexual violence runs from the frat house to the White House, and abusers count on us staying scattered and silent.

From the frat house to the White House, institutions continue to protect rapists while women are fighting for our lives. Women are breaking, and when we break, the country breaks with us.

From the Cornell rapists to Trump, from universities to government, our institutions continue to protect rapists while women are left fighting for our lives.

Rep. Al Green has stood up for what's right for decades, from the civil rights movement to impeaching Trump, even when others stayed quiet and he faced censure. He joined our Assembly leaders as a surprise guest speaker.

Movements run on people who show up at 8am with registration badges and a clipboard. At the Women's Convening, that was our volunteers, and they kept the whole thing moving from the first check-in to the last session.

We took an honest look at where women stand in this country today. Tabitha St. Bernard-Jacobs led the conversation with Raquel Willis of the Gender Liberation Movement, Laura Terrill of Planned Parenthood South Texas, Sarah Heydemann of SEIU, and Tyra Wilkes of Me Too International.

Feminists have stopped authoritarian power before. This morning, Rachel Carmona sat down with Nse Ufot of Solidarity Analytics & Media, Suzanne Pharr of National Council of Elders, and Scot Nakagawa of 22nd Century Initiative to talk about how we did it and why women keep leading these fights.

21.4 million women need low-cost birth control, and Texas ranks near the bottom of the country for access because Texas lawmakers made it that way. But we decide what happens to our bodies.

What's the state of women and feminism in our country? Who is carrying the work and who gets credit for it? What do we do out of habit instead of strategy? Join our afternoon panel where we take account of what’s gotten stronger since 2016 and what we still need to fortify. convening.womensmarch.com

To know where we're going, we have to know where we come from. Feminist interventions throughout history have been key to halt authoritarian takeovers.

Join us as we look back at: • What have we achieved in the past • How can those lessons inform our current strategies, and • Why women and feminists are uniquely suited to lead movements and organizing in this moment. convening.womensmarch.com

Data centers are destroying our communities and water supply, all-time-high fuel prices are increasing the cost of food, and our rural communities are the frontline of MAGA blight.

ICE rammed an Austin man's car and shot him in the back. It has happened before. It will happen again, in Texas and anywhere they think no one is watching. We're watching. And we're getting ready.

On November 2, women across America will STAND WATCH to protect our elections. Stand watch with us: act.womensmarch.com/survey/Women... From now through Election Day, women across the country are GOTV-ing, organizing, training, and preparing to defend our communities and protect our democracy.
