THE 2020 WOMEN’S MARCH ON ROANOKE: FIERCE FEMINIST FUTURE
The Roanoke Women’s March is a non-partisan, 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.
The 2020 Roanoke Women’s March builds on the success of the past three years, when we marched, we worked, we voted, and we won as women entered our nation’s public life in unprecedented numbers. We now take our voice and our power to Richmond to hold our state legislators accountable to our core values: equity, justice, democratic governance, and safeguarding our environment and climate future. In 2020, Virginia has a historic opportunity to advance women’s rights nationwide by becoming the final state needed to ratify the ERA Amendment. The 2020 Roanoke Women’s March will focus on the ERA, encouraging women to enter public life, and rallying us to become effective and forceful advocates in Richmond for the issues that matter to us.
The Roanoke Women’s March is a platform for grassroots activists and organizers in the Roanoke Valley and Southwest Virginia working to dismantle systems of oppression in their local communities. We recognize and affirm that there is no true peace, freedom, or inclusion without equality for all. Our March therefore celebrates and promotes the many voices of resistance aligned with our principles -- including ending violence, fighting for climate and environmental justice, and fighting for full civil rights and social justice for women and for other groups historically marginalized in our communities because of their racial, ethnic, religious, or gender identity; their class, economic, family, or immigration status; or their disability or physical condition.
