WOMEN'S MARCH ON WASHINGTON- JANUARY 21st, 2017
OFFICIAL STATEMENT, National Organizers
On January 21, 2017 we will unite in Washington, DC for the Women’s March on Washington. We stand together in solidarity with our partners and children for the protection of our rights, our safety, our health, and our families -- recognizing that our vibrant and diverse communities are the strength of our country.
The rhetoric of the past election cycle has insulted, demonized, and threatened many of us--women, immigrants of all statuses, those with diverse religious faiths particularly Muslim, people who identify as LGBTQIA, Native and Indigenous people, Black and Brown people, people with disabilities, the economically impoverished and survivors of sexual assault. We are confronted with the question of how to move forward in the face of national and international concern and fear.
In the spirit of democracy and honoring the champions of human rights, dignity, and justice who have come before us, we join in diversity to show our presence in numbers too great to ignore. The Women’s March on Washington will send a bold message to our new administration on their first day in office, and to the world that women's rights are human rights. We stand together, recognizing that defending the most marginalized among us is defending all of us.
We support the advocacy and resistance movements that reflect our multiple and intersecting identities. We call on all defenders of human rights to join us. This march is the first step towards unifying our communities, grounded in new relationships, to create change from the grassroots level up. We will not rest until women have parity and equity at all levels of leadership in society. We work peacefully while recognizing there is no true peace without justice and equity for all. HEAR OUR VOICE.

MARCHA DE MUJERES EN WASHINGTON -21 DE ENERO DEL 2017
PRONUNCIAMIENTO OFICIAL, Organizadores Nacionales
El 21 de enero del 2017 nos uniremos en Washington, DC para la Marcha de Mujeres en Washington. Nos unimos en solidaridad con nuestros compañeros e hijos para la protección de nuestros derechos, nuestra seguridad, nuestra salud y nuestras familia -- reconociendo que nuestras comunidades vibrantes y diversas son la fortaleza de nuestro país.
La retórica del ciclo pasado de elecciones ha insultado, demonizado y puesto en riesgo a muchas de nosotras -- mujeres, inmigrantes de todos los status, aquellos con diversas creencias religiosas particularmente Musulmanes, personas que se identifican como LGBTQIA, personas indígenas y nativas, personas de color, aquellos con discapacidad, los económicamente pobres y sobrevivientes de asalto sexual. Estamos frente a la pregunta de cómo avanzar frente a estas preocupaciones y miedos a nivel nacional e internacional.
En el espíritu de la democracia y honrando a los campeones de derechos humanos, dignidad y justicia quienes vinieron antes que nosotros, nos unimos en diversidad para mostrar nuestra presencia en gran número, la cual no podrá ser ignorada. La Marcha de Mujeres en Washington enviará un mensaje valiente a nuestra nueva administración en su primer día de gestión, así como al mundo entero: los derechos de las mujeres son derechos humanos. Nos ponemos de pie, reconociendo que al defender a los más marginados entre nosotros es defendernos a nosotros mismos.
Apoyamos los movimientos de defensa y resistencia que reflejan nuestras identidades múltiples y comunes. Convocamos a todos los defensores de derechos humanos a unirse a nosotros. Esta marcha es el primer paso hacia la unificación de nuestras comunidades, estableciendo nuevas relaciones, para crear un cambio desde las bases. No descansaremos hasta que las mujeres tengan igualdad y paridad en todos los niveles de liderazgo en la sociedad. Trabajamos pacíficamente a la vez que reconocemos no habrá verdadera paz sin justicia e igualdad para todos. ESCUCHEN NUESTRAS VOCES.
