What is #MarchForBlackWomen about? Demonstrators participating this weekend will be advocating for the following:。

1. Full reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act set to expire on September 30, 2018.。

The Violence Against Women Act makes it possible to fund social service agencies that support victims of sexual assault and domestic violence, such as law enforcement training and the National Domestic Violence Hotline. It was enacted in 1994, following Anita Hill's testimony in 1991 against Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.。 2. Focusing on intersectional women’s rights concerns like poverty, affordable housing, reproductive rights, immigration protections and center the most vulnerable. 。

3. Reversing the Trump administration's restriction on the use of these words: transgender, fetus, vulnerable, science-based, evidence-based, diversity, and entitlement. 。

In December 2017, the Trump administration told analysts at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention to no longer use those seven words in budget reports. 。
