Women's March Anniversary suggestions for individuals and small groups

Women’s March Anniversary suggestions for individuals and small groups

Over the weekend of January 20 - 21, 2018, DA members will be joining numerous groups in marches, vigils, and rallies to commemorate the Women's March on Washington and continue our
"March to the ballot box"

Participation in large group events is not possible for some of us in remote locations.  Others are simply not able to be public about their views for professional or personal reasons.
We have put together  a collection of ideas on how you and your friends can still get involved and take positive action throughout the coming year to defend women’s rights and democracy itself.
