Our marchers make a difference.
The 3rd Annual Women’s March will continue to empower our global community in support of civil rights, disability rights, ending violence, environmental justice, immigrant rights, LGBTQIA rights, reproductive rights, and worker’s rights!
This peaceful demonstration will magnify the work being done by community organizations, and we invite you to join millions in creating another tidal wave that will bring #TruthToPower!
Women's March San Diego would like to express our gratitude to the Kumeyaay people, on whose land we march, for their support.

HEALTH & SAFETY
Rain or shine, hot or cold...we march! Please check the weather report and please be sure to dress appropriately.
We look forward to another peaceful and safe march this year! Since the inaugural march, WMSD has partnered with SD law enforcement and emergency response in order to address marcher safety. We acknowledge that not all members of our community feel safe among law enforcement, and that is why WMSD has a team of marshals (wearing bright pink vests) who are trained in de-escalation.
