A women-led political action committee born out of the nationwide protest

movement that followed the 2017 Women’s March is expanding its efforts across

the country, backing candidates and organizing voters in what it calls a fight to

defend democracy and defeat MAGA Republicans in the 2026 elections.

March On PAC, part of the larger March On movement, describes itself as a

national political organization focused on electing Democratic candidates who

support reproductive freedom, voting rights protections, and policies aimed at

economic opportunity and racial justice.

The organization says its mission is centered on what it calls ‘fighting for

democracy and bold leadership at a time when political divisions and attacks on

Democratic institutions continue to shape the national debate.

“Trump and MAGA extremists are rewriting the rules of our country. In 2026,

we’ll defeat MAGA Republicans, defend democracy, and take back Congress,” the

organization states on its website.

March On PAC identifies itself as a women-led political action committee

working to mobilize voters and support candidates who commit to protecting

civil liberties and democratic institutions. The group says its endorsements are

designed to help build a governing majority that includes women, young voters,

and communities of color.

Since launching its political arm, March On PAC has endorsed dozens of

candidates running for federal, state, and local offices across the country. The

endorsements include candidates in competitive races in states such as Texas,

Michigan, Wisconsin, South Carolina, Maryland, and New York.

The organization says its strategy includes fundraising, grassroots organizing,

digital outreach, and direct campaign support aimed at increasing voter

participation in key battleground races.

March On PAC traces its roots to the nationwide demonstrations in January 2017

that brought millions of people into the streets in what became one of the largest

protest movements in modern American history. Organizers later built the March

On network to transform that activism into sustained political engagement and

electoral participation.

The PAC says it has invested more than $1 million in political organizing and

campaign activity since launching its electoral program and has endorsed more

than 45 candidates.

The group’s website describes its priorities as defending reproductive freedom,

protecting voting rights, expanding economic opportunity, and electing

Democratic leaders committed to protecting democratic institutions.

Supporters say those priorities have taken on increased urgency as the country

approaches another high-stakes election cycle.

“Our mission is simple and urgent. We work to elect bold Democratic leaders who

will protect reproductive freedom, safeguard voting rights, address the

affordability crisis, and advance racial and economic
