Calling all Delegations!
If you are coming to the March as a delegation be sure that you are registered with the March Office!
This information is critical for us to create an appropriate assembly location for your group.
You can march with a National Organization, issue or constituency contingent, state/local coalition or organizational delegation, or as an individual/informal delegation.
Log into the March for Women’s Lives website with your email address and password and click on “Form a Delegation” to officially register your group with the March.
If you have any questions about forming a delegation please call (202) 349-3838 or email

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
Due to a large email influx, we have posted a Frequently Asked Questions list on our website in both “About the March” and “Get Involved.”
Reviewing this list before emailing the March Office will significantly reduce your response time!
If you still have additional questions after reading through these answers, you can email
info@marchforwomen.org and we will try to respond as quickly as possible.
