The Campaign
10 ACTIONS / 100 DAYS
We did it! On January 21, over 5 Million of us worldwide and over 1 Million in Washington, D.C., came to march, speak and make our voices heard. But it doesn’t end here - now is not the time to hang up our marching shoes - it’s time to get our friends, family and community together and make history. EVERY 10 DAYS WE WILL TAKE ACTION ON AN ISSUE WE ALL CARE ABOUT, STARTING TODAY.
Action 1 / 10
THE FIRST ACTION
Write a postcard to your Senators about what matters most to you - and how you’re going to continue to fight for it in the days, weeks and months ahead. We’re offering printable postcards for you to download.
You can go it alone, or consider inviting some friends, neighbors and fellow Marchers over for a drink or dinner sometime in the next ten days to talk about your experience and fill out your postcards.
STEP 1: GET YOUR CARDS
Get the official card printed (see below), design your own, or be one of 10,000 people who can get a free Women's March Postcard using the Ink Cards App. If you have the equipment, you can print at home, or download the file and get cards printed locally.
STEP 2: MAKE THEM YOUR OWN
Write down your thoughts. Pour your heart out on any issue that you care about, whether it’s ending gender-based violence, reproductive rights and women’s health, LGBTQIA rights, worker’s rights, civil rights, immigrant rights, religious freedom, environmental justice or anything else.
If you need some inspiration, check out the Women's March Unity Principles and #WhyIMarch hashtag.
STEP 3: SHARE IT WITH THE WORLD &
SEND IT TO YOUR SENATOR
Before you send it, take a photo of your postcard and use the #WhyIMarch tag when posting it to social media.

Below is my letter to my Senators re: Cabinet Positions. Please keep the heat on!!
My Letter:
Dear Senator,
I am very concerned that each and every one of the individuals that are currently being considered for cabinet positions are extremely unqualified and/or have nefarious reasons for wanting the positions.
The individuals selected are either completely clueless, have extreme conflicts of interest and/or want to dismantle the departments they are nominated for altogether as opposed to making the departments work better or simply leaving things as they are.
Of course these cabinet positions are more important than ever, due to the unfortunate fact that the Pr*sident seems to be afflicted with learning disabilities.
I’m not being mean, I have just observed the man and he doesn’t speak coherently, he does not seem to be able to absorb information and he has a very short attention span. His maturity level matches that of a teenager going through puberty at best. These traits are very scary to us watching this horror show and these are probably the truths that allow others to accept him. They give him a break instead of holding him to a higher standard. I will not give him a break and I don’t expect you to either.
We on the ground have been hearing about the Russian ties for months and months. Not just Russia but also bad people from all over the world. Word is, U.S. Banks quit loaning him money. Probably because of his bankruptcies as well as being over-leveraged.
This Pr*sident needs to release his tax returns as well as every person being considered for positions in his cabinet. Especially after whatever it is Congress just found out about the Russian hacking.
Quite a few of the people this Pr*sident has and is surrounding himself with have Russian ties. We must be sure that each person being scrutinized is thoroughly vetted. Anyone with Russian ties should be instantly disqualified.
Don’t let the GOP make you feel rushed. Because of who is at the top we need to make sure anyone nominated does not have a conflict of interest. If a nominee wants to demolish the department they will be in charge of, that is a conflict of interest IMHO.
They obviously should have done some or better vetting of their own prior to the nominations. They are the ones that are causing any chaos due to this simple fact of not being prepared.
I am very frightened that one of the major U.S. Political Parties, namely the Grand Old Party or GOP has LOST SIGHT OF PATRIOTISM.
They seem to no longer care for our Country (except for what they can take from it) OR the people that live in this Country (unless they need or want you).
It makes me physically ill that the 2016 Presidential Elections may have been stolen due to a Foreign Powers influence.
The fact the GOP is looking the other way after the Russian Hack and other things are very telling.
PLEASE, STAND STRONG AGAINST THE CURRENT ASSAULT AGAINST OUR DEMOCRACY.
Peace and God Bless.
