POV
RES

The launch of the campaign is led by thousands of women marching on Washington, D.C. The campaign also sets up a tent city on the National Mall, which remains an occupation site for over a month.

The campaign focuses on building at scale by implementing small, concrete changes, such as free food donations and avenues for employing people living in poverty.
