Sign Up for 2025
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.
Unfortunately, we are here again. But we're not in the same place.
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 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.
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. 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.
Our Mission:
To harness the power of women and their communities to create transformative social change.

Who You Should Know and Support
One of our guiding principles within Women's March Minnesota is to know when to listen and when to lead. As a women's organization dedicated to Inter-sectional feminism, and protecting the rights of Minnesota women, we work to raise the voices of the strong, dedicated groups doing important social justice, human rights and equality work in Minnesota.
In the spirit of Coretta Scott King, we believe that you cannot stand for freedom for one group and deny it to others. Personal prejudice and systemic discrimination are pervasive in America and lead to the marginalization of many people, including women, people of color, American Indian and Alaskan Natives, LGBTQIA individuals, immigrants, religious minorities and people with disabilities. We stand for the rights of marginalized communities, for just and equitable systems, and for the freedom of all peoples who make up our diverse nation.
We know that Minnesota is not immune from discrimination or disparities and vow to work toward more inclusive, equitable communities. #OurCollaborations
