The March for Black Women is issuing a call for folks interested in being legal observers on September 30th in Washington D.C.!

Legal observers are folks along the march route who are responsible for observing and documenting the interactions between Marchers and law enforcement.

Never been a legal observer before? No problem. We are offering two in person trainings* the week of the March.
Trainings will be held on Tuesday, September 26th 5:30pm - 8:30pm at Shaw (Watha T. Daniel) Neighborhood Library and
Wednesday, September 27th 6:00pm - 8:30pm at Benning (Dorothy I. Height) Neighborhood Library.

*We are hoping to offer an online legal observer training as well for folks not in the D.C. area who are attending the March and want to be trained as a legal observer. Let us know if you are interested in this option and we will reach out to you with availability.

Already trained and want to help out? Great, let us know below.

If you have any questions about the training or want to find out more ways to get involved with M4BW feel free to reach out to Ericka Dixon ericka@blueprintny.org and Krystal Leaphart krystal.leaphart@gmail.com

About The March for Black Women
On September 30, 2017, Black women in all their diversity will march at the center of the March for Racial Justice in our very own MARCH FOR BLACK WOMEN in Washington, D.C. to denounce the propagation of state-violence and the widespread incarceration of Black women and girls, rape and all sexualized violence, the murders and brutalization of transwomen and the disappearances of our girls from our streets, our schools and our homes.

On September 30, 2017, Black cis and trans identified women will remove the gags from our mouths, protest in collective action and lift the foot of imperialist white supremacist patriarchy off our necks. We call on every Black woman from every U.S. city, every walk of life, every demographic to rise together within our differences and face our common oppressors—the systems, and too often the very communities claiming civil and human rights for some, while invisibilizing, rejecting and relegating the rest of us to political backseats.
