The Women’s March is ending their “100 days of action” by asking supporters to attend a fundraiser at the Showtime Bar in Washington D.C., according to a press release.

The Showtime Bar agreed to donate 50 percent of the total proceeds from Monday night’s fundraiser to the Women’s Action Network. “Local black-owned businesses” donated two gift baskets for a fundraising raffle.

“We will send a clear message that we will rise up, together, against attacks on our health care, our identities, and our religious freedoms,” the release states. “We no longer accept hollow reforms or compromises that help some of our communities but harm others.”

The group also asks supporters to sign their “Pledge of Liberation” to promise to work together for the “liberation of all people.”

“In solidarity with our families, friends, neighbors, coworkers and communities, we collectively stand for dignity, justice, and freedom in the face of attacks on our health care, our identities, and our lives,” the pledge reads. “When one community is harmed, all of our communities are harmed. We are all part of one movement, and we pledge allegiance to the survival and liberation of all people.”

CodePink, the NAACP, The American Civil Liberties Union’s People Power and sixty-one other protest groups signed the pledge.

Other branches of the Women’s March plan to hold demonstrations at their local representatives’ offices, according to the release.

Demonstrations are planned for locations like New York City, Los Angeles, and Boulder, Colo.

The Women’s March on Washington D.C. took place the day after President Donald Trump took office, and several hundred thousand protesters flooded the streets to show their opposition. The women’s group organized several protests across the country in the days since the protest.
