It’s not too late for a New Year’s resolution: to show up in even greater numbers at the 2020 Women’s Marches than ever before.
Women are the principal survivors of gender-based violence. Women earn four-fifths of what men earn. Women and children face the greatest risk from climate catastrophes. Women’s reproductive rights are under attack. Unwavering in their determination to right these wrongs, women are leading a social revolution, from the streets to the ballot box—from the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements to women elected to office in 2018 and 2019 in unprecedented numbers.
Let’s march as fathers, caregivers, grandfathers and mentors raising boys to value compassion over competition, collaboration over isolation. Let’s march as sons, brothers, uncles and nephews who recognize that “standard issue” manhood constricts our emotional lives and stops us from seeing how we can be whole human beings. Let’s march as husbands and partners who recognize that when women are respected and empowered, they are happier—and so is everyone around them.
We’ll be following in the proud tradition of another historic movement: women’s suffrage. This year marks the 100th anniversary of women’s struggle to gain the right to vote. Many men dedicated themselves to that cause, marching behind a banner proclaiming, “Men’s League for Women Suffrage.
Beginning in 2017, men joined the first Women’s March in large numbers. For this year’s march on January 18, let’s recruit more. Seek them out in the locker room and the faith community; the poker game and the coffee shop. Invite them to not only advocate for gender justice, but also to speak out for racial, economic, religious and environmental justice.
