Women’s March Chicago planned to host two Marches in 2020 - and then there was a pandemic. And it became clearer than ever before that we face one of the most consequential elections of our lifetimes. We VOTE, quite literally, for the life of our democracy.

We are planning for a socially distanced and masked event across Chicagoland neighborhoods in mid-October. Together we will March to the Polls and make ourselves heard, as we gather in COVID-safe ways to register, vote early (some sites open in Chicago on October 14), drop off vote by mail ballots, and fire up voters across Chicagoland. Watch for more information as plans unfold!

On Saturday, January 18, 2020 WMC marched to mark the annual anniversary of the Women’s March movement. More than 10,000 people braved the cold and took to the streets. These intrepid individuals of all ages, races and genders were led led by our marchers with disabilities and our high-level women elected officials — including Mayor Lori Lightfoot, Illinois Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton, Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, and others.



More than 50 partner organizations participated in our Gallery of Issues experience, where they engaged marchers around five critical issues: 2020 Census; gun violence prevention; climate justice; health care access; and voting.
