We are once again organizing the Women's March on Roanoke. Our theme this year is Rally in Richmond--Results in Richmond.
The Roanoke Women’s March is a women-led movement organized by Roanoke Indivisible and the Blue Ridge Resistance Alliance of Virginia (BRRAVA) providing intersectional education on issues with disproportionate impact on women and their families in Southwest Virginia. When we march, we gather to rally, build our community and our power. When we raise our voices in Roanoke, in Richmond, and in Washington, D.C., we demand, create, and promote solutions for Virginia women and their families and communities. The Roanoke Women’s March builds the political power of women and their diverse communities to create transformative social change and encourage everyone’s participation in our elections and civic life.
To learn more about the March, click here for the official March web page. We hope you'll join us on January 19 in Elmwood Park.
