We are ALL born free and equal in dignity and rights. The Supreme Court of the U.S. and the United States Congress have failed in their obligation to protect, respect, and uphold our human rights. The women's wave delivered a blow to anti-freedom politicians in the 2022 midterms, and now we are taking the fight out of D.C. and into every single state in this country.
On January 22, 2023, the anniversary of Roe V Wade, as we mourn the loss of nearly 50 years of constitutional protections, we send another clear message: The midterms were just the beginning. We are not going gently. We are taking our fight to every state house and every state legislator in this country. We are putting all politicians at every level of government on notice: If you come for our families, our freedoms, or our future, we are coming for your seat. Our movement is strong. Our movement is growing. Our movement is Bigger than Roe.

“Fifty years after the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, a radical right-wing movement hijacked our Courts and eliminated federal protections for abortions. But as the fight turns to the States - they are going to learn that the overwhelming majority of Americans in all States support abortion rights - and women will fight to protect our rights and our lives,” said Rachel Carmona, Executive Director of Women’s March. “We are taking our fight to every state in this country on January 22. Our movement is strong. Our fight is #BiggerThanRoe.”
The #BiggerThanRoe events across the country are organized by Women’s March, with support from almost 50 organizations and groups including MARRCH, Planned Parenthood , Working Families Power, the National Organization for Women,and National Women’s Law Center. A full list can be found here.
