Are you ready for the Women’s March On Washington?
Tomorrow, January 21, 2017, is the big day. Millions of women around the world will be protesting for equality, feminism, civil rights, social rights, diversity, fair treatment and inclusion. Many of us are protesting in local Sister Marches (find one near you here). Those of us in Washington will have the opportunity to listen to notable speakers such as feminist pioneer Gloria Steinem, civil rights activist Roslyn Brock, actress and activist Scarlett Johansson, editor at large for Elle magazine Melissa Harris-Perry, and CEO of MomsRising Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner in addition to the protest. If you can’t attend tomorrow, you can still join your fellow protesters in spirit and live stream from home on Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube.
