THE 2021 PHILADELPHIA BLACK WOMEN'S MARCH

About the March
The Philadelphia Black Women’s March will take it to the streets on August 21, 2021 for our annual movement to raise awareness for the systemic, social and political issues experienced by Black women and girls. This March creates a safe space for Black women and girls to lift their voices, tell their stories and receive support from fellow community members. The theme for the 2021 Philadelphia Black Women’s March focuses on “The Whole Black Woman''. March organizers and partners will be promoting and providing educational resources on the physical, mental and emotional well being of Black women and girls.

About the Founder
The Philadelphia Black Women’s March is organized by India Fenner, a Philadelphia native and Temple University Graduate. While studying Africology and Political Science, India participated in protests and movements seeking justice for marginalized groups within the United States. India did not feel represented in these movements and saw the efforts of black women on the frontlines continually erased. India’s passion for activism and representation led her to organize the first Philadelphia Black Women’s March in 2017.
