WMO 2020 has a single goal to get everyone counted in 2020. Marchers will mobilize to raise awareness, volunteer hours and funding to get a complete census count in Alameda County and make their voices heard at the polls.
"This year's focus on the census is particularly important to our historically undercounted community," says BWOPA local chapter president LaNiece Jones.
WMO 2020 will kickoff a weekend of East Bay action with an interfaith activism training on Sunday and local volunteering on MLK Jr. Day.
"As we begin this new decade, the threats we face are many, but we stand fierce in our commitment to inclusion, agency and belonging. At the Women's Foundation of CA, we know that the people closest to the problems are also closest to the solutions," she continues.
"2020 is going to be monumental across this nation and in Oakland. We believe every woman has political power," says Esmeralda Cortez Rosales, IGNITE's West Coast program manager.
This year marks the largest Community Action Fair, w/ entertainment, food, art and a wide range of organizations offering opportunities to make a difference in Alameda County.
