What is Women's March Oakland?

Women’s March Oakland envisions an East Bay free from systems of oppression and rooted in inclusive structures guided by autonomy, dignity and respect for all self-identified women and other vulnerable populations.

Our mission is to mobilize self-identified women and their communities to achieve transformative social change in Oakland and the East Bay. We provide intersectional education on a diverse range of issues and create entry points for new grassroots activists and organizers to engage in their communities.

We are committed to fighting for justice for all people, regardless of skin color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability or national origin. We categorically denounce and reject all forms of bigotry and hate, including racism, sexism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, homophobia, transphobia, classism, xenophobia and ableism.

Women’s March Oakland is run by and for all self-identified women and their allies with deep roots in Oakland and Alameda County. Our leadership team includes women of color, queer womxn, and women with disabilities who are dedicated to representing this beautiful, diverse region.

Women's March Oakland is independently operated and funded; we have no affiliation or shared funding arrangement with any other organization.
