Our Message:
We stand together in solidarity 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 unity, local community groups in OC are joining to send a message to the new administration in Washington that women’s rights are human rights! Women have a voice in every movement — Immigration, Veteran’s Rights, LGBTQ+, Labor, Education, Health care, All Nationalities — and it’s time for our voices to be heard. We march for women, we march for awareness, we march in solidarity, and we march to show our strength and have our voices be heard! Event Information:
When and where? Saturday, January 21, 2016
Calle Cuatro Downtown Santa Ana (Corner of 4th and French)
9AM – 1PM
What is happening? In response to the Women’s March on Washington Movement, local OC community groups have come together to organize a march here in OC! Orange County will join sister marches across the nation in sending a message to the incoming administration that women’s rights are human rights and our diverse voices must be heard. Why is this happening? The rhetoric of the past election cycle has insulted, demonized and threatened many of us — immigrants, Muslims, Veterans, people who identify as LQBTQ+, Native people, Black and Brown people, people with disabilities, and survivors of sexual assault. This march is the first step toward unifying our communities and sending a strong message to the new president and his administration that our voices matter. Who is involved? The Women’s March on OC is being organized by a wide array of local community groups. We will be posting our partner list shortly. Is this a protest? This is a peaceful, family-friendly march and rally that aims to unite the many diverse communities in Orange County while sending a powerful message. How do I join? All are welcome. To volunteer, email OCWomensMarch@gmail.com
To RSVP, simply let us know you’re coming on FB. Note, this is a free, family-friendly event.
