Women are stronger than ever! Step out for the 2018 Houston Women’s March from 9:30am–12:30pm, 105 Sabine St., educating and encouraging women to vote. The 2018 elections are crucial for the future of our nation. “We must elect progressive leaders in Austin and DC. If the Houston region generates a massive progressive wave during the primaries and in the general election, we can change Texas. If we change Texas, we change America. The Power is in your hands!” – words + image borrowed from the movement’s Facebook page.
