The Georgia Alliance for Social Justice (GAFSJ) is ready to celebrate the 3rd anniversary of the Atlanta March for Social Justice and Women Saturday, January 19, 2019.  

GAFSJ has organized a “Women's Day of Service” January 19. GAFSJ is an official co-sponsor of the historic Atlanta Martin Luther King Jr. Day commemorative march and activities. We will March in our state in celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Monday, January 21, 2019. For information on how to volunteer or host a volunteer event on January 19, CLICK HERE.

There will not be a Women’s March in Atlanta that weekend. This decision was made to ensure maximum attention and attendance to the MLK March on Monday, January 21. Our organization, founded upon the Kingian Principles, does not wish to take away from the celebrations of his life and legacy. We are asking for people to commit to a day of service January 19 with local organizations as a means of including Dr. King’s legacy in their resistance. There will also be a Youth Summit held in Atlanta on the Saturday of the Women’s March on Washington. We invite you to march with us on Monday, January 21 to celebrate our anniversary.

Further Women’s March on Washington details will be forthcoming.

For those traveling to Washington, our team will be traveling to Washington on Friday, January 18 and returning Sunday, January 20. We are staying at the Hyatt Place, White House just a few short blocks from the start of the march.
