Women's March - Key West, FL
Start: Saturday, January 21, 2017• 2:00 PM
We will gather at the Southernmost Beach at 1:00 pm on Saturday, January 21st. 1405 Duval (where Southernmost Beach is) will be barricaded for us. T-shirts pick up is between 10-1:30 am. At 2:00pm we begin marching down Duval. We are to keep our group as close knit as possible to help make it easier on the officers of the KWPD who are helping us out so much. The March will proceed down the full length of Duval Street and we will end at Mallory Square where the event will conclude with a short, inspirational speaker.
This event is about peace and love, social justice, and unity and equality for all. We in no way support or promote harassment of ANY KIND. We are here to show LOVE is stronger than hate! Please, no blatantly anti-trump or anti-republican shirts or signs and no illegal forms of protest. Thank you for helping us create a positive space to March in support of our rights as human beings.
WOMEN'S MARCH ON WASHINGTON- JANUARY 21st, 2017
OFFICIAL STATEMENT, National Organizers
On January 21, 2017 we will unite in Washington, DC
for the Women’s March on Washington. 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.
The
rhetoric of the past election cycle has insulted, demonized, and
threatened many of us--women, immigrants of all statuses, those with
diverse religious faiths particularly Muslim, people who identify as
LGBTQIA, Native and Indigenous people, Black and Brown people, people
with disabilities, the economically impoverished and survivors of sexual
assault. We are confronted with the question of how to move forward in
the face of national and international concern and fear.
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 in numbers too great to ignore. The Women’s March on
Washington will send a bold message to our 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 our 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,
grounded in new relationships, 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. HEAR OUR
VOICE.
