March On Washington Weekend 2020

57th Anniversary of the March on Washington

Friday, August 27th will be the beginning of the weekend celebrating the 57th Anniversary of the historic March On Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Stemming from a rapidly growing tide of grassroots support and outrage over the nation’s racial inequities, the rally drew over 260,000 people from across the nation who came together to make their voices heard. This moment was a turning point in American history that set our nation on the path to full equality and justice under the law. Join us for a day of unity and constructive dialogue in appreciation of this hallowed occasion.

Let's Approach.

On August 28th 1963, John Lewis, A. Philip Randolph, James Farmer, Roy Wilkins, Whitney Young, and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. led a stunning crowd of demonstrators to the Lincoln memorial to demand equal rights and opportunity for all American citizens. This pivotal day in our history paved the way for many present-day civil rights demonstrations and set a standard of bravery and perseverance that is absolutely necessary to the progression of our society. In celebration of this day, Our Women In Politics will be hosting an experience in preparation for the weekend that is bound to be memorable.

Let's Agree.

With the spirit of strength and togetherness as our canvas, we will take this time to reflect on those who opened the doors to progression and paved the way for our current road to positive change.

Let's Connect.
