A Rally to Highlight the Power of Women in Vermont — to stand up for our freedoms, futures and families.
Join us November 2, 2024, at 10 a.m. on the Statehouse Lawn for the Vermont Women's Rally, a sister event to the National Women's March in Washington, D.C., on the same day.
For decades, Vermont has led the way in the fight for equal rights, becoming one of the first states to support reproductive freedom, gay marriage, and women's equality. This Rally celebrates Vermont's commitment to equality and reminds us of the power we hold to protect women's rights. Join us in standing strong for human rights. WE WON'T GO BACK!
