Nearly 50% of the worlds population is comprised of the generation about to come of age. Our youth stand to be most impacted by our political and social decisions – empower them now. What kind of future do you want to see for your sisters, daughters, granddaughters, cousins and friends? What do you want for the world we live in to become?

A few things from the news:
*Planned Parenthood is a hot topic and likely to remain that way through the presidential elections.

*Girls not brides…Global campaign to end child marriages!

*LGBT equality ‘waters down marriage.’ ~Santorum strikes again

Given the frequency of oppression in this world, and the amount of people about to come of age, rallying to connect and empower our youth (especially our daughters—bringers of life) as their guardians seems past due to say the least…

Join us in the streets, bring your demands, prepare to be empowered.

Rally at 4, March at 4:30 (route TBA), and a dinner/potluck event afterward (location TBA). Costume and street theater details developing organically, stay tuned.
