More about the Organizers of the 2nd Annual Defend Black Women March
Trinice McNally and Dr. Jaimee Swift are the organizers behind the 2nd Annual Defend Black Women March, which will take place from Friday, July 29th through Sunday, July 31st, 2022 in Washington, D.C.
The Defend Black Women march is in defense of and in solidarity with Black women and gender expansive radicals in Latin America and in the Caribbean. Their hope is to create a new world of possibilities by building solidarity across borders and boundaries. “Globally, Black women face unprecedented amounts of violence. That is why defending Black Women is not a slogan — it’s a political priority,” the founders remind us.
Aisha Becker-Burrowes, Head of Strategy and Impact at FEMINIST caught up with the founders to dive deeper into their inspiration behind the march and the importance of why now.
