March 31st marks the official end of Women’s History Month. We reject that. When our government is literally removing our history from government websites, 31 days of milquetoast acknowledgment is nowhere near good enough. Women’s History Month may be over, but we’re just getting started.

Emily would like to clarify: she never said she wanted to leave home and never come back. Only that she wanted to start walking and not stop until she reached D.C. She loves her life, her home, and her family. Frankly, she wishes none of this were happening so she didn’t feel she had to leave.

Thirsty? Need a snack? Need to sit for a minute? The RCR Restoration Stations have you covered! Our wagons are stocked with all the essentials to keep you hydrated, fueled, and restored. Look for our red ‘Rose City Resistance’ vests, and be sure to say hi!

One of our founding members is leading a Women’s Walk Across America and we couldn’t be prouder! Join her on March 29th at 10am at the Oregon State Capitol for the start of the journey, or jump in at any point along the way. Please help her get all the way to DC by sharing far and wide!

Because we refuse to behave as if any of this is normal.

Who get's to walk with us? The cheeky answer: the girls, gays, and theys! A little more seriously: the walk is in response to gender-based oppression, and so centers anyone who experiences that oppression, both by placing them at the front, and by prioritizing their safety. (thread)

Where are the route details, you ask? For the safety of the small (but mighty!) group of women who are committed to the early legs of the journey, we are not publishing the route details in full. Here's what we can tell you: we leave Salem, OR on Sunday 3/29 and head southeast (more in comments)
