From the Women's March website: The Campaign
10 ACTIONS / 100 DAYS
We did it! On January 21, over 5 Million of us worldwide and over 1 Million in D.C., came to march, speak and make our voices heard.
But it doesn’t end here - now is not the time to hang up our marching shoes - it’s time to get our friends, family and community together and make history. That’s why we’re launching a new campaign:
10 Actions for the first 100 Days.
Every 10 days we will take action on an issue we all care about, starting today. more
