#Womenrising2020

2020 is set to be a landmark year for the Women’s March. We are writing our fourth year into existence and you play the biggest role. In 2020 we are engaging in targeted direct action aimed at those who have attempted to impede on our rights and we are building with those who have always stood by our side. Women have seen serious attacks under our current administration but we have also seen just what we are capable of when we fight together. In 2020 we need you to rise with us. In 2020 we need you to march with us.

The Women’s March intersectional feminist policy agenda is the first of its kind. Read the full agenda and join us in taking action in the halls of power.

Women’s March agenda is 71 pages. Here’s page 1:

Building upon the Unity Principles established in 2017, Women’s March expanded the process to include dozens of additional organizations representing women in marginalized communities, who have collaborated in committees to identify one to two urgent policy priorities under each of the following areas:

•Ending Violence Against Women & Femmes
•Ending State Violence•Reproductive Rights & Justice
•Racial Justice
•LGBTQIA+ Rights
•Immigrant Rights
•Economic Justice & Worker’s Rights
•Civil Rights & Liberties
•Disability Rights
•Environmental Justice

The policies identified under each area are specific, tangible, and able to be acted upon and supported in 2019 and 2020, potentially even passed with the support of activists nationwide. In addition, Women’s March calls for three policy priorities that intersect with all committees and affect the rights of all women:

•Universal Health Care / Medicare for All
•Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution
•Ending War

The Women’s Agenda is a tangible declaration of how we will protect and defend our rights, safety, health and communities. Our Agenda will serve as a work plan to Congress and will create the roadmap we will use to mobilize our constituents into 2020 and beyond.
