Women’s March Minnesota does not and will not tolerate the language or practice of hate. WMM launched as a 501(c)(3) non-profit in February 2018. As a separate entity, we have our own board and leadership, independent of Women's March national. We are committed to fighting all forms of oppression as outlined in our Unity Principles. We will not tolerate anti-Semitism, racism, misogyny, homophobia, and transphobia and we condemn these expressions of hatred in all forms.

On January 19th, we are coming together in unity. We extend an open invitation to those who have felt alienated, unsafe, or marginalized in this Women’s March movement. We hope to see Minnesotans at the march in St. Paul on Saturday, January 19th or in the future at a community conversation or program.
