UFCW members are encouraged to attend the 2019 Women’s March, which will take place on Saturday, Jan. 19 in Washington, D.C. and other locations.

Many of you joined us during the historic Women’s March in 2017, where we helped send a bold message that women’s rights are human rights and that women will not sit down and be quiet.  That message continued during the 2018 midterm elections as the UFCW Women’s Network helped to elect over 100 women to Congress to fulfill the promise of equality and inclusion for all people in this country.

The 2019 Women’s March will continue to unify those who defend human rights and include a policy platform and a “to do” list” for elected officials that women helped elect to office.  If you’re unable to attend the march in Washington, D.C., you can participate in one of the sister marches that will take place in a number of locations throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Additional information about the 2019 Women’s March can be found here. For information about UFCW gatherings at the march in Washington, D.C. and other locations, please contact UFCW Women’s Network International Chair Rhonda Nelson at rhondan@ufcw1500.org or International Vice President and Director of the Civil Rights and Community Action Department Robin Williams at rwilliams@ufcw.org.

The UFCW Women’s Network has partnered with Love Over Addiction, an online recovery community for women, to help UFCW members who love someone that suffers from addiction.

The Love Over Addiction program is a six-week online course featuring audio and video trainings. Each week, a new learning module is released with unique lessons and activities. The activities are provided on printable guide sheets that you can complete and refer back to when needed.

Although the modules are released weekly, the program can be completed at your own pace with no fear of falling behind and no child care needed. Included in your membership is a lifetime access to the program so that you can listen to and watch the training material whenever it’s convenient for you.

When you join the Love Over Addiction program, not only are you receiving practical solutions, you’re also gaining access to a community of women just like you. Included with your membership is an invitation to join the Love Over Addiction secret Facebook group where you can share your journey and seek advice from women all around the world who understand exactly what you’re going through.

Your membership with the UFCW Women’s Network will allow you to purchase Love Over Addiction for just $20. You can get more information about this important program here.
