In 2023 women are rising to affirm that women’s rights are human rights and human rights are women’s rights. Women are rising to power and demanding justice for people of all genders, ages, races, cultures, political affiliations, disabilities, and backgrounds. In the 2018 midterm election, a record-breaking 103 women were elected to Congress and have risen to assert powerful and courageous leadership in every area from the economy to foreign policy to government accountability.
Women’s March LA created a space in the midst of Los Angeles for powerful speakers, artists, activists, and community leaders to rise and share work aligned with the Women’s March Platform. The 4th Annual Women’s March LA was a moment when women rose for justice, rose for equity, and will continue to rise in power.
On January 21, 2017, the Women’s March was the largest single-day protest in U.S. history with over seven million women and allies marching throughout the world. 1.2 million of those marching for gender justice and equality were right here in Los Angeles. Women’s March Foundation grew from that initial moment and has organized a march for women’s rights in LA each year since, with over 2.2 million marchers taking part. And women are still rising.
