The 2003 National Young Women's Day of Action is a call for women to unite in solidarity, across movements, to feel our power and secure our freedom. For eleven years, young women across the country have organized around issues of reproductive and sexual freedom, racial and economic justice, and to end violence against women. Women and girls across the country can participate in a massive movement for voter education, registration, mobilization and action. In the past three years, as many elected officials have struck down the reproductive rights and civil liberties of people everywhere, women across the country will organize to engage in activism and dialogue about voting. In preparation for the 2004 elections, young women and girls will be organizing around everything from voter registration to youth sufferage. National Young Women's Day of Action is a kick-off event for 365 days of participation in electoral politics. We are taking back our voices, we are taking back our power, we are taking back our choices, we are taking back the vote.
