Planning for the Spring March Is in Full Swing!

We’re already deep in preparations for the April 2026 March from Philadelphia to DC — powered by the talents and energy of an incredible, growing team. If you’ve been looking for meaningful work with great people, now’s the time to jump in. Reach out and we’ll find the right spot for you.

🖥️ Website Update – Got Wix Skills?

The 2025 March and Press pages are live, with an updated mission and a new sign-up form. We’re still processing donations through Action Network while our new system is tested. If you have experience with Wix or website design, please get in touch — we could use your help!

🚐 Kitchen Car & Community Connections – Join the Crew

Interest is growing fast! Amber is setting up a Kitchen Car group to coordinate meals and logistics.
We’re also recruiting Community Coordinators — remote volunteers who research and connect with local groups, religious communities and schools along the route. If you’re a relationship-builder or love community outreach, this is for you.

Every role, every mile, and every connection matters. Reply to weareamericamarch@gmail.com with interest.

🗺️ Planning Our Next Steps: Fall 2026 March(es!) Update

We're excited to share progress as we look ahead to organizing multiple simultaneous marches across the country this fall! Yes – it seems impossible, but the original WAAM event seemed impossible, too!

👟 Where We're Headed

Our core team gathered to discuss potential locations and strategies for expanding our movement. Here's what's under consideration:

San Antonio to Austin (Texas)
Philly to DC
Midwest: Chicago emerging as a hub, with routes from Wisconsin or Michigan
Ohio: Multiple options including Toledo to Cleveland and Cincinnati to Columbus
North Carolina / South Carolina
Pacific Northwest

♥️ How You Can Get Involved

We're looking for passionate local leaders in our Fall 2026 march locations! You don't need to be a professional organizer—our strength comes from regular people stepping up. Come join our Spring 2026 planning team (and march with us) – we're framing this as an opportunity to learn how to organize a march with support from experienced team members. Then we’ll use what we’ve all learned to plan for Fall 2026.

Interested in bringing a march to your area? Reach out directly to weareamericamarch@gmail.com. Maggie and MJ are planning in-person visits to connect with local organizers.
