Join Seattle NOW and the WA State Women’s March team, at BE BOLD NOW.
Be Bold NOW features over 75 local nonprofits who serve women and girls, people of color, immigrants, refugees, the LGBTQ community, the Environment and other marginalized groups. Attend to learn more about how these organizations are creating positive Change in the world. Many will provide opportunities for Direct Actions that you can do while at the event and in the future.

Be Bold NOW also includes a film fest, music and spoken word performances, a pop-up Art Gallery, workshops on lobbying and activism, a Serenity Spa (for those of you who need a well deserved rest and time to recharge), food and drinks, and more!
Our objective is to inspire attendees, to BE BOLD NOW and take action that truly creates change for women and girls here at home and around the world. You’ll not only be inspired by the amazing organizations and people you’ll meet; but you’ll also learn how YOU can be BOLD NOW and take action to create the change you wish to see in the world.
