Participants at Action One writing postcards to Congress at the Wildrose (Image: CHS)

The energy from inauguration weekend marches in cities across the country is being sustained by a series of “10 actions in 100 days.” Last week, CHS stopped by a couple Capitol Hill bars and cafes as people gathered to write postcards to Congress and raise money for the ACLU. This week, the energy continues with a “huddle” on Capitol Hill.

The second action of the Womxn’s March is Huddle.

It’s a facilitated planning/brainstorming meeting with people in your community to discuss what we can do together, to make a difference.

There is a local Huddle happening this week with room for 200 members of the community.

Where: Fred Wildlife Refuge

When: Tuesday, Feb 7th, 6PM (Activities will begin at 6:30)

Cost: Free

Organizers say a few of the postcard-writing venues on Hill rallied together with about 300 people attending in an event that raised $500 for the ACLU and “sent over 500 postcards to Senators and Representatives.”

In Seattle, organizers have chosen to refer to their cause as the “Womxn’s March” in a spelling they say is meant “to promote intersectionality in our movement” and “takes into account the impact of discrimination based not only on gender but also race, sexual orientation, gender identity, nationality, faith, class, disability, and other backgrounds.”
