The Women’s March On Denver Mission Statement
Because we CARE, on January 21, 2017 we will stand together to tell the nation and the administration-elect that:
1) All women shall maintain the freedom and lawful protection to choose what is best for them as it concerns their biological and reproductive health.
2) The diverse and vibrant communities of the United States of America shall be protected from political factions that would seek to inhibit their expression and existence by implementing legal restrictions on personal freedoms. These diverse and vibrant communities are the fabric of our great country and shall not be torn by hateful, divisive, and racist rhetoric or actions.
3) All people, regardless of gender, gender identification, ethnicity, racial heritage, disability, religion, age, sexual orientation and/or socioeconomic status shall be treated equally and equitably, with respect, dignity and justice for all.
By bringing thousands of people together online and in person at Denver’s Civic Center Park, we strive to provide an outlet and support for those who wish to:
1) Advocate for and defend the most marginalized members of our society.
2) Connect with like-minded individuals and organizations within local Colorado communities.
3) Serve as a model of peaceful demonstration for the young women and men, and girls and boys, who will be the leaders of tomorrow.
4) Honor the women and men who have come before us and fought for human and women’s rights.
Our Vision Statement
We are all relevant, we are all valued, and we are more powerful together.
Our Message
This march is not a protest, but rather an opportunity for all participants to support social justice, human rights and equality, and to demonstrate that we will be vigilant in protecting these rights moving forward.

The question keeps coming up - What's going to happen after the march?
Many of those involved as organizers and marchers are working on creating a solid community of people who are willing to stand up and work vigilantly for the protection and expansion of human rights. Our vision for the future of our movement is blurry...but we do have a vision.
We will be focusing on connecting people with the organizations and opportunities that allow them to be a force for change in areas that are important to them while also mobilizing everyday folks to take part in the legislative process in ways that further our cause of social justice and human rights.
How this will manifest is highly dependent on the people who decide to let their voice be heard beyond January 21st. Right now we are focused on the march and rally, BUT we are connecting with one another on social media through our MarchonColorado.org group that we established in an effort to maintain the phenomenal positive and determinded energy that has arose out of the marches.
