The final action in Women’s March’s 10 Actions / 100 Days Campaign, Pledge of Liberation, harnesses the power of cross-movement collaboration. Over the course of the next week, we are mobilizing our communities to sign a Pledge of Liberation—a declaration of allegiance to each other.

Together, activists around the country from every movement sector will unite on May 8 and hold demonstrations at in-district congressional offices and the offices of other elected officials. Women’s March, in partnership with ACLU People Power, United We Dream, Hollaback!, The Gathering for Justice, the National Lawyers Guild and other national and local partners, will take our resistance directly to our members of Congress. We will send a clear message that we will rise up, together, against attacks on our health care, our identities, and our religious freedoms. We no longer accept hollow reforms or compromises that help some of our communities but harm others.We will hold demonstrations in solidarity with communities around the country and collectively fight for dignity, justice and freedom. We are all part of one movement, and we are not only stronger and more powerful together—our unity is how we survive as people, organizations, and movements.

We cannot pledge allegiance to an administration that oppresses and harms us. Instead, we pledge allegiance to the liberation of all people. We pledge allegiance to each other.

In DC, we are pledging allegiance to keeping our community safe. This means supporting the NEAR Act! The NEAR Act engages communities members to mediate disputes in their own communities using proven methods of mediation and violence interruption. In cities where it has been tried before, there have been reductions in shootings and murders from 40-70%.

Join the Stop Police Terror Project in DC as we hold a fundraiser on Monday, May 8th, at Showtime Bar to help raise funds for our outreach efforts to make sure the NEAR Act is fully funded!
