Here is information on the "We Demand More: Community Convening!" that is tomorrow, March 18, at 5pm MT.

"We are a year into the COVID-19 pandemic and a year working together as the We Demand More coalition. We came together to ensure that women, especially Black, brown, and Indigenous women, are centered in relief efforts by Congress and The White House. Join our coalition members from across the country to:

- share stories in solidarity circles
- learn about what is included in the American Rescue Plan Act
- how to move our stories into collective action"
