Women’s March Global receives $1M from Hewlett Foundation
The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation has approved a $1M grant to Women’s March Global, a project of The Tides Center and the international sister organisation of Women’s March, who together organised the largest single-day protest in US history on January 21, 2017, with over 6 million people marching for human rights in over 600 cities worldwide.
Women’s March Global will use the grant to mobilise its local organisers, build a platform that will support the autonomy and expansion of a grassroots network, and hire a team of members to help connect Women’s March Global with more organisers, social justice and human rights organisations worldwide.
Women’s March Global has continued to organise actions and events around the world, and we are devoted to fighting for the human rights of people worldwide. Women’s March Global will use the much-needed funds to provide support and organisation assistance to its global activists as they fight for human rights in their respective regions.
Women around the world have planned actions for this coming weekend, 20–21st January 2018, to elevate the urgency and importance of health, economic security, representation, and safety. Those interested in taking part in a march or action in their area can visit:
