The Women’s March is about our sisters saying “enough already.”
We march to make our unified voice heard in support of the civil rights of every human regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation, ethnicity, disability, religion or creed.
This should be basic, but we clearly have a lot of work to do in our society, and especially at this strange moment in our country’s history.
It is a presidential election year. That makes your voice more important than ever. March into action.
Women’s March on NYC 2020
Saturday, January 18, 2020 ~ Unfortunately, there are two separate Women’s Marches on NYC. Instead of working together for change, we’ve managed to splinter ourselves. Really, if women can’t get together, what hope is there for all humanity?
Apparently the Women’s March Alliance was the first to organize a women’s march in New York City. Then the national organization that organizes marches in Washington and around the country tried to join forces. A power struggle with ethnic/religious overtones left us with two marches.
In New York City, we are just New Yorkers. Anti-Semitism or any type of racial or ethnic violence has no place in our city.
How New York City Ended up with 2 Competing Women’s Marches (New York Times, January 16, 2019)
We don’t care about politics, just march with your sisters.
And don’t just march. Let this be a pivot into action and a teaching moment for the young. Aren’t we really marching for our children?
