Demonstrators participating this weekend will be advocating for the following:
1. Full reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act set to expire on September 30, 2018. The Violence Against Women Act makes it possible to fund social service agencies that support victims of sexual assault and domestic violence, such as law enforcement training and the National Domestic Violence Hotline. It was enacted in 1994, following Anita Hill's testimony in 1991 against Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
2. Focusing on intersectional women’s rights concerns like poverty, affordable housing, reproductive rights, immigration protections and center the most vulnerable.
3. Reversing the Trump administration's restriction on the use of these words: transgender, fetus, vulnerable, science-based, evidence-based, diversity, and entitlement. In December 2017, the Trump administration told analysts at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention to no longer use those seven words in budget reports.
If you cannot attend a rally but want to show your support, you can donate money to the CrowdRise campaign. According to the campaign description, those who donate $50 or more will receive an #EveryBlackWoman sticker, $100 or more will receive a March for Black Women T-Shirt, and $150 or more will receive an inaugural March for Black Women viewbook, as well as a one-year Black Women's Blueprint membership. You can also spread the word and promote posts with the hashtags, #M4BW, #EveryBlackWoman, and #BlackWomenRise.
