For more than two decades, Selma has commemorated the anniversary of “Bloody Sunday” and the March from Selma to Montgomery, events which led to the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Throughout history, black women have been instrumental in gaining civil rights for all Americans. We worked to gain the right to vote in the Suffrage Movement and was asked to march behind white women. We worked to gain civil rights in the Civil Rights Movement and was asked to march behind black men.
Now, we are leading our way to change. We are asking our allies to stand WITH us or stand BEHIND us. Where will you stand on March 5th?
We are calling women of all races, ages, backgrounds, and interests to join our fight against tyranny and oppression! From Anchorage to Rhode Island and Chicago to Texas, we will stand in solidarity!
