Website Updates
Our brand-new bulletin board is now up and running!

March 8th is International Women’s Day!
Every year, March 8th is designated International Women’s Day to promote women’s social and political rights worldwide.
It is crucial that in our demand for reproductive rights, we remember and include our sisters internationally who are experiencing firsthand the detrimental effects of U.S. foreign policy on women.
Take a stand on International Women’s Day and organize your community to mobilize and advocate for women worldwide.
This day is an excellent opportunity to organize and educate people about the March for Women’s Lives.
For more information on what YOU can do in your area, check out our International Women’s Day Organizing Kit, available in the “Organizing Materials” section of our website.
You can also contact Molly Diachok at mdiachok@marchforwomen.org or (202) 349-3756 with any questions.
Promote the March and show your solidarity with women everywhere by rising up for this important day!
Calling all Delegations!
We are strongly encouraging all delegations to register on our website at
www.marchforwomen.org! Log in with your email and password and then click on “Form a Delegation.”
(If you do not have a password yet, go to “Sign Me Up” to create one).
Registering your delegation on the Web is crucial for March planning.
You can continuously update the number of people planning to march with your delegation, and we also request that you indicate who you would like to march with on April 25th.
We appreciate your comments and suggestions, and we thank you for your support.
This March would not be happening without you. Only 55 more days until the March! Keep up the good work, and keep organizing!
