Boston Women Don't Back Down- International Women's Day March

 To All My Powerful, Beautiful, Badass Friends,
 
Ash here!

I'm inviting you all to come together with me to show the world that Boston Women Don’t Back Down. (Neither do women across the world, but hey, nothing wrong with a little Bostonian Masshole pride right?) Why? Because We organize. We rise. We protect each other. And when we come together? Things change. 

This is the second annual Boston Women Don’t Back Down March, and we’re coming back louder, bolder, and more powerful than ever for international women's day. 

Last year was pure magic--women empowering women, allies locking arms, joy and rage dancing side by side. It felt like a giant, feral, heart-open sleepover with your best friends… while also reclaiming our power in the streets and fighting for the rights of all. That alchemy? We’re doing it again. 

Because right now, under an oppressive, oligarchic, misogynistic, corrupt administration, our rights, our bodies, our safety, and our futures are under attack. And we’re not waiting politely for permission to exist. They are openly attempting to drive us apart, against each other, because they know what can happen when Badass Women come together to fight for what's right. We will show them that we are unbreakable. 

This rally is about women’s power in motion. Channeled not just for ourselves, but for everyone. For trans folks. For queer folks. For people of color. For immigrants. For disabled people. For veterans. For workers. For our kids. For anyone whose life has been treated as disposable by those in power. 

When women come together around a shared purpose, something ancient and electric happens. We turn fear into fuel. Anger into action. Grief into solidarity. Hope into momentum. That’s the collective alchemy, and it’s unstoppable. 

Expect bold voices, unapologetic energy, fierce joy, and the kind of connection that reminds you: you are not alone, and you are not powerless. Come scream, laugh, cry, chant, dance, march, and take up space. We don't make ourselves smaller for those that don't even deserve our presence. 

Bring your friends. Bring your partners. Bring your kids. Bring your signs, your glitter, your rage, your softness, your fire. 

This is an invitation and a declaration:
 We will not back down.
 We will not be divided.
 We will fight for each other- and for the world we deserve.
