Women's March 2018

Here in San Francisco, folks will head down to Civic Center for the Women's March 2.0. (Likewise in Oakland across the Bay and in every municipality around here.)

Well and good; we need to get together. But probably the most important offshoot of the mass outpouring begun last January will take place in Las Vegas where Power to the Polls, a nationwide campaign of mobilization and voter registration arising from the Women's March, begins its swing through contested states.

“Women's March has created a powerful movement that has ignited thousands of activists and new leaders,” said Tamika D. Mallory, co-president of Women’s March. “ In 2018, we must turn our work into action ahead of the midterms. This new initiative will address voter registration and voter suppression head on. We marched for justice in DC, we created our plan in Detroit and now we’re bringing the power of the polls to Nevada.”

Nevada was rocked by the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history, recent sexual assault allegations against elected officials, and has become a battleground state that will shape the Senate in 2018. The kick-off event in Las Vegas will bring together talent, musicians, grassroots activists, and elected officials to a key swing state for a large-scale gathering to celebrate the work of the past year and launch a collective 2018 Women’s March agenda.
