The Women's March on Washington

March Agreements for Participants

Making Women’s Marches safe spaces for all kinds of people is critical to their success. We expect everyone taking part in Women’s Marches around the world to respect the following agreements:

We will use no violence (physical or verbal) towards any person.

We will not destroy or damage property.

We will promote a tone of respect, honesty, transparency, and accountability in our actions.

We will not carry anything that can be construed as a weapon, nor possess (or consume) any alcohol or drugs.

We are non-partisan, and will use the Women’s March primarily to express our support for women’s rights and human rights in our communities and the country, rather than to criticize politicians or political parties.

We will all hold each other accountable to respecting these agreements.


Make friends from "all sides of the aisle" in this NON-PARTISAN experience, as we stand in solidarity with The Womens' March on Washington. We share their Mission:

"We stand together in solidarity with our partners and children for the protection of our rights, our safety, our health, and our families -- recognizing that our vibrant and diverse communities are the strength of our country. Because women's rights are human rights."
