On January 21, 2017, women & allies will unite in Washington, DC, for the Women's March on Washington. We will join and support them by marching right here in Jackson, Mississippi.

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.

In the spirit of democracy and honoring the champions of human rights, dignity, and justice who have come before us, we join in diversity to show our presence. The Women's March on Jackson, in support of the Women's March on Washington, will help send a bold message to the new administration on their first day in office, and to the world, that women's rights are human rights. We stand together, recognizing that defending the most marginalized among us is defending all of us.

We support the advocacy and resistance movements that reflect or multiple and intersecting identities. We call on all defenders of human rights to join us. This march is the first step towards unifying our communities to create change from the grassroots level up. We will not rest until women have parity and equity at all levels of leadership in society. We work peacefully while recognizing there is no true peace without justice and equity for all.
