Womens' March
Sign up to attend the march: https://sites.google.com/view/womens-march-atx/home 2025 is The Year of the Forgotten Woman We're not going back. Women and femmes keep the world running. We raise our children, mold young minds, roll up our sleeves, and get our hands dirty. We accomplish the impossible on a daily basis and still find a way to get dinner on the table, pay the bills, and wake up to take the world by storm the next day. We live in a world that has taken us for granted, a world that has told us that we are both too much and never enough. While the world watched our country's election results roll in that fateful November night, many women watched us be told once again that you can be strong, intelligent, successful, ambitious, and immensely qualified yet still be passed over for someone else. Texas women watched as our legislature remained rooted in oppression and determined to keep us from surviving. We refuse to take that for an answer. This march is not your traditional Women's March. This march is for the forgotten woman: this is for the immigrant woman who sacrificed everything to come to this country in search of a safe place for their child to sleep. This is for the trans woman who wants to be herself and doesn't need a legislator deciding where she goes to the bathroom. This march is for the Black woman who is scared of delivering her baby in a hospital because she's worried about being taken seriously. This march is for the sisters we've lost because no one listened to them. This march is for every young girl who has ever been called "too loud," "too bossy," "too angry," or "too much." When we said, "We're not going back", we meant it. We're here to write a love letter to the state of Texas and say that you don't have to love women or even like women, but you will respect us. Join us as we take to the streets in East Austin and take action together to protect our most vulnerable and take a stand in 2025.
