Women's March Chicago

Marchers will CONNECT to make our voices heard. We will support each other in PROTECT-Ing women’s/humans rights by ACTIVATING in our communities. Grassroots Group Formed on FB in Mid November 2016. Women’s March on Chicago brings together women and allies in support of women’s rights including equal rights, equal pay, reproductive justice, affordable healthcare, affordable childcare, racial justice, voting rights, freedom from violence, LGBTQ+ rights, immigrant rights, fair wages, access for persons with disabilities, environmental protections, and other critical areas of focus. On the day of our Marches (Jan 20, 2018 and Jan 21, 2017), and at all marches women and allies participate in, we encourage women to create signs reflecting their specific concerns/demands expressed in a constructive way. THE MARCHERS: WHO WE ARE We are people of different colors, backgrounds, religious faiths, and politics. We support women’s/human rights. We are activists, seasoned and new.
