Chicago organizers will not hold a Women’s March in January 2019
Chicago organizers announced in November they will not host the annual Women’s March amid rising controversy about the national organization’s link with Nation of Islam Leader Louis Farrakhan following his anti-Semitic comments.
GEAR UP FOR THE MARCH! ORDER YOUR T-SHIRT
Farrakhan drew criticism last February when he delivered a speech attended by the national organization’s co-chair with comments like “the powerful Jews are my enemy.” Though leaders of organization condemned his comments a month later, local chapters throughout the country began dissociating from the national group.
Last year, about 300,000 people gathered in Grant Park for the Women’s March, which was about 50,000 more than in 2017. Sara Kurensky, a Women’s March Chicago board member, told the Chicago Tribune in December that marches with such a large turnout can cost more than $150,000, a steep price after already hosting a “March to the Polls” event in October, which 100,000 people attended in Grant Park.
While the cost was a major reason for cancelling the march, Kurensky told the Tribune that the opportunity for the Chicago chapter to separate further from the national organization was a “side benefit.”
Other cities like Boston, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. will still hold marches on Jan. 19 along with nearby Illinois cities like New Lenox, Rockford and Woodstock.
Even without a march, Chicago organizers still plan to host an event or activity on Jan. 19, 2019 to honor the occasion — the details of which have yet to be determined.
“There’s no march, there’s no rally,” Kurensky told the Tribune. “We’re going to provide ways for people to organize and take action in their local communities.”
A previous version of this article incorrectly stated that Women’s March Chicago cancelled the march. A plan for a march in Chicago was never announced. The Daily regrets this error.

Everything You Need to Know About the Women's March 2019
In early 2017, during the aftermath of President Trump's election, around four million people gathered in Washington DC for the first Women's March, a protest against legislation and rhetoric that harms women. Around the country, large sister marches mobilized in major cities on the same day. The historic march—the largest single-day protest in US history—was meant "to ensure that this country knows women are not happy," according toWomen's March co-founder Tamika Mallory.
Women's March, however, did not conclude their efforts after their 2017 march, dubbed the Women's March on Washington. The following year, they organized another march on the same weekend with a new focus, a campaign called Power to the Polls, with the goal of registering and mobilizing people to vote.
Now, two years after their initial protest, Women's March is gearing up for their third annual march, focused on keeping people energized to continue to resist policies and actions that harm women and minority communities. As an organization, Women's March has faced ups and downs in the past three years, including most recently being accused of anti-semitism—which they have both denied and apologized for—causing the official 2019 Chicago march to be canceled. Still, they are continuing to march this year, bringing the main event back home to Washington DC, using the hashtag #WomensWave.
If you plan on attending, here's what you need to know:
When is the Women's March?
The main 2019 Women's March will take place on Saturday January 19, 2019. People will begin gathering at 10:00 AM in Washington DC, the march steps off at 11:00 AM, the rally begins at 1:30 PM, and the event ends at 4:00 PM.
The Women's March is working to increase accessibility to the march for those with disabilities. If you have a particular accommodation request, email [email protected].
If you plan on attending a sister march, check below to see if it will be held on the same date or not.
Where is the Women's March?
The main Women's March event will take place at the National Mall in Washington, DC. Protestors will be gathering between 12th and 3rd Street and rallying at the Lincoln Memorial. There will be a support station at Constitution Gardens, which will have porta-potties, water stations, heating tents, medic stations, and a tent where lost people can meet.
What Should I Bring?
Women's March is in January, so no matter where you are, make sure to check the weather and dress in warm layers before you head out to march. Between rallies, speeches, and marching, these protests can run long, so bring food and a full, reusable water bottle to keep your energy up. Don't forget to wear comfortable shoes too, you'll be on your feet for much of the day.
The first Women's March is remembered by the colorful photographs of protesters carrying creative and clever posters. If you'd like to make a sign to bring, keep in mind that you'll be carrying it for a while when considering shape and size.

How to Take Part in the 2019 Women's March
The Women’s March of 2016 began as a response to the election of President Donald Trump, but their organizing efforts continued far beyond that first wave of protest. The third annual march will take place this month; here’s what you need to know to join.
GEAR UP FOR THE MARCH! ORDER YOUR T-SHIRT
Controversies and Cancellations
To start with, the Women’s March has not been without controversy, including accusations of anti-Semitism towards leaders of the movement, and was cancelled in Chicago. [Update: organizers for the Chicago march reached out via email to clarify that there is a march on January 19, and the confusion stems from having held a large action in October for the midterm elections. They also clarified that none of their decisions are “informed by what is happening at the national level with WMI, Tamika Mallory, etc.” and that the Chicago march is “an entirely separate entity and our decisions have nothing to do with the actions of WMI or any other Women’s March organization.”]
Plans for the march were also cancelled in Eureka, California, after organizers recognized a lack of racial diversity in the core group of protestors, according to NBC News.
The leaders of the march have their own complicated politics and histories which require research and nuance to understand, in particular Linda Sarsour and Tamika Mallory’s association with Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. You can read more about that here:
Additionally, the march seeks to mobilize an enormous number of people, and many have expressed frustration with a lack of representation and the seeming emphasis on white, cis womanhood within the march, and so have declined to participate. We recommend doing your own research into the local march you may be attending.
Dates and Access
It’s especially important to look into where your local march is, because though the main event is January 19, there are sister marches on other dates. To figure out where and when the closest one to you is, you can check out this map.
Starting times also vary widely from city to city, so make sure you’re there when it’s actually happening. If you are going to Washington on the 19th, here are the important locations from the organizing website:
Organizers are working to increase accessibility for people with disabilities, according to Broadly, so if you have a particular accommodation request, you can email [email protected].
What To Wear
It’s January! Dress warm and in layers, and bring an easily consumed snack and water. Even if you don’t intend to stay long, getting into and out of large crowds can often take much more time than you’d anticipate. If you’ve got a protest sign, make sure it’s easy to transport.
In terms of what those signs should say, that’s up to you; however, 2017's march was dedicated to getting people to the polls for midterms, and this year the hashtag for the event is #WomensWave. Expect a lot of water imagery. Maybe Trump caught in a tsunami or a thousand hands about to slap the GOP right out of Congress. Let your imagination run wild—2020 is just around the corner.
