On the historic steps of the Lincoln Memorial, we unite local leaders, teen girls, families, and community members to amplify the voices of millions of girls whose rights are overlooked. This event features uplifting music, inspiring speakers, and powerful signs that echo the strength and tenacity of teen girls. As we march through the mall, we remind the world that the voices and dreams of teen girls matter.
