On January 21, 2018, thousands of women, femmes and allies will come together in Las Vegas, Nevada, to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the Women’s March and to launch our collective 2018 Women’s March agenda: #PowerToThe Polls.

We in Pittsburgh  are organizing a training, march and rally  on January 21, 2018  for the Women's March anniversary weekend.

PITTSBURGH, PA-- The Women’s March on Washington-Pittsburgh and Indivisible Pittsburgh will celebrate the march that got Pittsburgh on her feet and a year of work and resistance by taking the next step, “Power to the Polls.” The wave kicked off last year with thousands marching in the “Women’s March on Washington: Pittsburgh Sister March”, and the Women’s March on Washington nationally, including the thousands of Pittsburgh area women attending in D.C. The Women’s March on Washington-Pittsburgh will join hands with The Women’s March on Washington- Pennsylvania, The Women’s March on Washington-PA Southwest, Indivisible Squirrel Hill, FIERCE: Pittsburgh and Southwest PA, FIERCE: Pennsylvania, Tax March Pgh, and Tuesday with Toomey Pittsburgh.

We will lift up the work that Women in the region did this year and now take the next step, “Power to the Polls” This year’s voter-registrar training, march, and rally will be held on January 21, 2018. We will gather at 11:30 a.m. City-County Building for poster making and more, then march to Market Square at noon. At Market Square we will continue our online training “Power to the Polls” with information about the voting process, our voting districts, hear speakers from around our region who have done the work of resistance this year and those with a vision for work moving forward. Our goal is to begin to train people to register themselves and others and to stand up for the vote!

Shoot us a message if you have a question or want to help. More to come next week!
