The [March](http://motto.time.com/4629510/celebrities-womens-march-washington/) organizers published a four-page document outlining the goals for the event, which will take place the day after President-elect [Donald Trump’s inauguration](http://time.com/4634200/donald-trump-inauguration/). The official platform includes a plea for the passage of an [Equal Rights Amendment](http://time.com/4487374/phyllis-schlafly-equal-rights-amendment/), an end to [police brutality](http://motto.time.com/4510612/serena-williams-police-shootings/?iid=sr-link1), [equal pay](http://motto.time.com/4289246/pay-gap-salary-studies/?iid=sr-link4) for equal work and open access to affordable [birth control](http://motto.time.com/4633775/new-york-free-birth-control-obamacare-repeal/) and [abortion](http://motto.time.com/4571883/texas-abortion-proposal-fetus/?iid=sr-link4). Earlier this week, some women said that they wouldn’t attend the March after they felt some attendees [were “alienating” white women](http://motto.time.com/4631603/race-womens-march-washington/). But the March’s platform makes it clear that it intends to advocate for all. In addition to reproductive rights, the platform includes sections [about the group’s](http://motto.time.com/4457322/women-jails-vera-institute-report/?iid=sr-link1) “moral imperative” to end racial inequality in the criminal justice system and expand [the rights of LGBTQ individuals](http://motto.time.com/4570037/rachel-maddow-mike-pence-show/?iid=sr-link1). “We believe Gender Justice is Racial Justice is Economic Justice,” the platform reads. “We must create a society in which women, in particular women — in particular Black women, Native women, poor women, immigrant women, Muslim women, and queer and trans women — are free and able to care for and nurture their families, however they are formed, in safe and healthy environments free from structural impediments.” The platform was crafted by a [variety](https://www.womensmarch.com/team/) of activists and leaders of community organizations. Gloria Steinem [will serve as an honorary co-chair for the event](http://motto.time.com/4618990/planned-parenthood-gloria-steinem-march/?iid=sr-link1), and while Planned Parenthood will help provide security and services. “We believe that [Women’s Rights are Human Rights](https://www.nytimes.com/politics/first-draft/2015/09/05/20-years-later-hillary-clintons-beijing-speech-on-women-resonates/?%5Fr=0) and Human Rights are Women’s Rights,” the platform says. “This is the basic and original tenet from which all our values stem.” \[H/T [Slate](http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx%5Ffactor/2017/01/12/the%5Fwomen%5Fs%5Fmarch%5Fon%5Fwashington%5Fhas%5Freleased%5Fits%5Fplatform%5Fand%5Fit%5Fis%5Funapologetically.html)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4634336/womens-march-on-washington-platform/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4634336/womens-march-on-washington-platform/"},"headline":"Women's March on Washington Unveils Its Official Platform","datePublished":"2017-01-13T19:59:02.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T09:04:23.370Z","description":"'We believe that Women's Rights are Human Rights'","url":"https://time.com/4634336/womens-march-on-washington-platform/","keywords":["motto"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4b231e3c3a6e21b1/6988b58f656a3f10f5bce644/womens-march-washington.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Cooney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-cooney/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4b231e3c3a6e21b1/6988b58f656a3f10f5bce644/womens-march-washington.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Capitol Sunset","caption":"Capitol Sunset","creditText":"Bill Clark—CQ-Roll Call,Inc.","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/motto/","name":"motto"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4634336/womens-march-on-washington-platform/","name":"Women's March on Washington Unveils Its Official Platform"}}]}] ```
