Women’s March MN - Our Mission; To harness the power of women and their communities to create transformative social change.
Our work is to Educate - Amplify – Activate.
We believe that women’s rights are human rights. We must create a society in which women — including Black, Native, poor, immigrant, Muslim, and queer and trans women — are free and able to care for and nurture their families, however they are formed, in safe and healthy environments free from barriers.
Our goal at Women's March Minnesota is to know when to listen and when to lead. As a women's organization dedicated to Intersectional feminism, and protecting the rights of Minnesota women, we work to raise the voices of the strong, dedicated groups doing important social justice, human rights and equality work in Minnesota.
We are more than a march, we are a movement.
Take action and make your voice heard to make a difference in your community or nationally.
