MAKE IT CUTE

 

If you haven't heard of it, the Women's March on Washington is an event for any and all people who advocate for diversity, human rights, dignity and justice for those who have preceded us. Tomorrow (January 21, 2017), people from all over the world will march at the U.S. Capitol to turn the United States of America into a country that understands women's rights are human rights. You can read their full mission here.

So, how can you be a part of it? Even if you don't live in the D.C. area, there are a ton of ways to get involved. Whether it's hosting a viewing party or gathering your gals for a local march, this cause is *totally* worth celebrating!

At a local march
Make some yummy trail mix and pack some water bottles—being an advocate is no simple task. There are so many marches around the world, and you and your gals can be a part of one. What better way to spend your Saturday morning than with a women's rights celebration? You can take photos to share with your friends and get everyone hyped about the cause.

DIY inspiration pocket rocks 
Just grab some smooth pebbles, acrylic paints and a permanent marker and you're ready to make these adorable pocket rocks. They're perfect to keep in your backpack or purse when you need a little boost. You can use one of your favorite quotes, or personalize them. Get your girls together and draw names. Whoever you pick, write what you love most about 'em on their rock. It'll bring a smile to their face every time they think about it!

Here at GL, we are *so* excited about the march...and you should be too. In the words of Audre Lorder, "It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences." You're never too young to take a stand for what's right.
