Ahead of Third Annual Women's March, Group Releases Far-Reaching 'Intersectional Feminist Policy Platform'
A day ahead of a major march in Washington, D.C. and satellite events nationwide, the Women’s March on Friday unveiled a detailed 70-page agenda, a document the group describes as a first of its kind “intersectional feminist policy platform.”
The “Women’s Agenda,” the group declared on Twitter, is “a roadmap for our movement, a workplan for our electeds, and it’s everything we’re marching for on January 19, 2019.”
That path forward is summed up with a list of two dozen federal policy priorities that fall within the following ten issue areas:
-
Ending Violence Against Women & Femmes
-
Ending State Violence
-
Reproductive Rights & Justice
-
Racial Justice
-
LGBTQIA+ Rights
-
Immigrant Rights
-
Economic Justice & Worker’s Rights
-
Civil Rights & Liberties
-
Disability Rights
-
Environmental Justice
In addition, the agenda highlights a trio of “policy priorities” that have direct impacts on all women: universal healthcare; the Equal Rights Amendment; and ending war.
