We are passionate about platforming and elevating the voices of women who have been silenced, let down and mistreated. We want the women who are fighting against un justice, racism and patriarchy to be heard loud and clear. We can’t do that without you and without a stage and sound system. Help us reach our target so we can be heard loud and clear on the 19th. Any more money raised will be reinvested back into the women’s movement that Women's March London is part of.
Reminiscent of the 1912 Bread & Roses protests which revolutionised workers’ rights for women, Women’s March London galvanised thousands for a Bread & Roses rally against Austerity in the United Kingdom in January 2019. Austerity is the single common denominator in the rise of economic oppression, violence against women, gender pay gap, racism, fascism, institutional sexual harassment, hostile environment and Brexit.
With the imminence of Brexit, we want Austerity to end and are demanding specific assurances from the UK government. It is time to eliminate the dividing line between the ‘Haves’ and ‘Have Nots’. Equality demands that we all get to thrive and not just survive. We demand Prosperity not Austerity.
Protesters joined the #WeAreChange call for action which is (i) a PLEDGE to protect and serve each other with love, unity and solidarity; (ii) a PROMISE to exercise our civic duty to vote in every circumstance that will shape a progressive society; and (iii) a CONVICTION to call out any racism or form of phobia we see online and offline.
The Bread & Roses Jan 19 rally replicated the defiance and celebration of previous marches and rallies by Women’s March London, which led to thousands of people taking to the streets of central London.
#WeAreChange.
