On the occasion of the International Day Against Racism, alliances and initiatives worldwide are organizing protests against racism and fascism on Saturday, March 16, 2019. On this day, meetings and demonstrations are planned in many European cities, such as Amsterdam, Athens, Barcelona, Glasgow, London, Prague, Warsaw, Vienna and others. Activists* from outside Europe have also confirmed their participation, for example in the USA and Latin America.
It’s time to march again. The 2017 Women’s March inspired hundreds of women to run, millions more to vote, and dozens to win elected office. The 2019 Women’s March marks two years of resistance to the Trump presidency, two years of training new activists, and two years of building power. And this time, we’re coming back with an agenda.
