DESCRIPTION:WOMEN'S MARCH OAKLAND 2018\n\nOn January 21, 2017, more than 100,000 women 
 and their allies marched in Oakland, part of a global mobilization of 5 
 million people for women’s rights, human rights, social justice, and 
 civil liberties.\n\nThat day sparked a movement that has galvanized the 
 nation, harnessing the political power of diverse women and their 
 communities to create transformative social change.\n\nWe have made our 
 voices heard in town halls and state capitals, on Congressional phone lines 
 and the news, down the street, and across the internet.\n\nOn Saturday, 
 January 20, 2018, we will march again in Oakland.  \n\nWHEN:\nSaturday, 
 January 20, 2018 \n10:00 AM – 3:00 PM PST\n\n Join us!\n\nWOMEN'S MARCH 
 UNITY PRINCIPLES\n\nWe believe that Women’s Rights are Human Rights and 
 Human Rights are Women’s Rights. We must create a society in which women 
 - including Black women, Native women, poor women, immigrant women, 
 disabled women, Muslim women, lesbian queer and trans women - are free and 
 able to care for and nurture their families, however they are formed, in 
 safe and healthy environments free from structural impediments. \n\nENDING 
 VIOLENCE\n\nWomen deserve to live full and healthy lives, free of all forms 
 of violence against our bodies. We believe in accountability and justice in 
 cases of police brutality and ending racial profiling and targeting of 
 communities of color. It is our moral imperative to dismantle the gender 
 and racial inequities within the criminal justice system.\n\nREPRODUCTIVE 
 RIGHTS\n\nWe believe in Reproductive Freedom. We do not accept any federal, 
 state or local rollbacks, cuts or restrictions on our ability to access 
 quality reproductive healthcare services, birth control, HIV/AIDS care and 
 prevention, or medically accurate sexuality education. This means open 
 access to safe, legal, affordable abortion and birth control for all 
 people, regardless of income, location or education. \n\nLGBTQIA 
 RIGHTS\n\nWe firmly declare that LGBTQIA Rights are Human Rights and that 
 it is our obligation to uplift, expand and protect the rights of our gay, 
 lesbian, bi, queer, trans or gender non-conforming brothers, sisters and 
 siblings. We must have the power to control our bodies and be free from 
 gender norms, expectations and stereotypes.\n\nWORKER’S RIGHTS\n\nWe 
 believe in an economy powered by transparency, accountability, security and 
 equity. All women should be paid equitably, with access to affordable 
 childcare, sick days, healthcare, paid family leave, and healthy work 
 environments. All workers – including domestic and farm workers, 
 undocumented and migrant workers - must have the right to organize and 
 fight for a living minimum wage.\n\nCIVIL RIGHTS\n\nWe believe Civil Rights 
 are our birthright, including voting rights, freedom to worship without 
 fear of intimidation or harassment, freedom of speech, and protections for 
 all citizens regardless of race, gender, age or disability. We believe it 
 is time for an all-inclusive Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. 
 Constitution.  \n\nDISABILITY RIGHTS\n\nWe believe that all women’s 
 issues are issues faced by women with disabilities and Deaf women. As 
 mothers, sisters, daughters, and contributing members of this great nation, 
 we seek to break barriers to access, inclusion, independence, and the full 
 enjoyment of citizenship at home and around the world. We strive to be 
 fully included in and contribute to all aspects of American life, economy, 
 and culture.\n\nIMMIGRANT RIGHTS\n\nRooted in the promise of America’s 
 call for huddled masses yearning to breathe free, we believe in immigrant 
 and refugee rights regardless of status or country of origin.  We believe 
 migration is a human right and that no human being is 
 illegal.\n\nENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE\n\nWe believe that every person and every 
 community in our nation has the right to clean water, clean air, and access 
 to and enjoyment of public lands. We believe that our environment and our 
 climate must be protected, and that our land and natural resources cannot 
 be exploited for corporate gain or greed - especially at the risk of public 
 safety and health.\n
