Women's March MN 8 Years Old - Sign up for 2025

We have been here before. It is important to take the time you need to recover. Give grace to others. Drink water, sleep, hug a cat or kid or yourself.

We will regroup as a community. One step is to look at where we’ve been and where we can go.

Eight years ago this week, Women's March Minnesota was born out of necessity for community and voice. Thirty strangers met with one clear message - even in the darkest moments, there is light! A few weeks later, on January 21, 2017, more than 4 million people marched around the world with more than 100,000 here in St. Paul. We were seen, we were heard and many of us continued to march, lead, provide service, speak up and push for equal rights and opportunities for everyone.

You made it possible. We made it possible. Thank you!

For many, the Women's March in 2017 marked the beginning of a profound shift that challenged our values, tested our strength and taught us how to speak up. Since 2017, we have run for office, we have called legislators, campaigned for candidates, Got Out the Vote, rallied for change and protested injustices. We will need these skills moving forward. Progress is never linear and the fight for a better world and a better tomorrow is never over. Our journey has been long, and at times, it's felt exhausting. Yet, with every march, every rally, every conversation, we have built something powerful: a community of voices that refuses to be silenced.

So much has changed in the past 8 years. One thing that hasn't changed is our need for community, voice and a continued push for justice.

We need you; we need community.

We are working on a way to honor the marches of the past, to be heard, to renew dedication to the cause and celebrate community. If you are interested in learning more or volunteering please sign up and save the date: January 18, 2025.

Let’s remember why we act—not because it is easy, but because it is necessary. Let us act for the voices yet to be heard, for the communities still waiting for change, and for the values that bind us together. Let us march in unity, with strength and optimism, knowing that every step forward brings us closer to the world we want to build.
