If you're just coming off the intense high of International Women's Day and the women's strike, I feel you. After such an exhilarating and exciting day, you probably already want to know what upcoming women's protests and rallies are going to be taking place, because you still have so much energy left to fight for your rights. And the good thing is, the organizers of these events and your community leaders still have energy too. Momentum is just only building! The more influence our current administration has on women's rights, the more need for action there is. So efforts will only continue to ramp up as a reaction.

Over the next few months there will be tons of events for us to harness our power, raise out voice and evoke change. While not all events will be as large, they'll be equally as powerful. And if you're not already in a local community group or meet up, you'll want to make sure you're regularly checking women's rights Facebook groups as that's one of the best ways to stay informed. Plus, if you ever want to make your own event, you can easily get your friends involved through Facebook, too.
