International Women's Day Resistance Rally Paris

NOTE: As of March 5, due to security concerns, the venue has changed to Place de la République, northwest quadrant of the plaza near Boulevard Saint-Martin.
Event details are subject to change. Please check back on this page before the rally for updates.

💪 As we begin US Women’s History Month, we are keenly aware that women’s rights and democracy itself are under attack as never before.

🚨 We are in a moment of crisis. The rights of ordinary people – women, LGBTQ+ individuals, people of color, and marginalized communities – are being systematically targeted through a radicalized Republican agenda that is not reflective of the country we wish to be.

✊ So, we are fighting back—loudly, relentlessly, and together.

🇺🇸🗽 This International Women's Day, Saturday, March 8th, you can #Resist from anywhere in the world—including Paris, France.

JOIN US:
