Girls Who Code,Watch Bikini Pirates (2006) a nonprofit organization that aims to close the gender gap in technology by training girls in computer science, is taking the flurry of in-person marches on everything from climate change to perceived governmental corruption online during the International Day of the Girl, held on Oct. 11 annually.
The organization's #MarchforSisterhood brings together girls, women, and allies all over the world to post videos of themselves marching for any cause they care about. Participants can post old videos of themselves marching or from the day of the online march, solo or in a group. Girls Who Code says, to their knowledge, this is the first-ever digital march. They hope it is the largest one in history.

Heavy hitters like Isra Hirsi, youth climate change activist and daughter of Rep. Ilhan Omar, and Deja Foxx, who eloquently challenged former Sen. Jeff Flake on his stance on Planned Parenthood in a video that went viral in 2017, helped organize this digital march. Foxx also founded the organization Gen Z Girl Gang, a community that wants to "redefine sisterhood for a new generation," she said.
By making this an online affair, Girls Who Code hopes to make marches accessible for more women and girls, as it's not always feasible for people to join in-person marches.
This march is open to all, regardless of their political affiliations or the causes they choose to march for, according to a spokesperson for Girls Who Code.
About 10,000 people have pledged their participation, and Foxx is right there with them.
"In every sense, what I have done has always been about pushing the boundaries of social media, from going viral at 16 and using that to push for birth control access to running an organization like Gen Z Girl Gang," Foxx said.

Foxx's organization uses social media as a community building tool. Foxx has also been recently tapped by Sen. Kamala Harris to leverage social media for Harris' presidential campaign.
“We know that this generation of girls is one of the most open-minded, and civically engaged in our history,” said Reshma Saujani, founder and CEO of Girls Who Code, in a press release. “The #MarchForSisterhood is a moment to celebrate the transformative social movements they are leading in communities all around the world, and to remind them that they are not alone."
Foxx hopes this digital march inspires girls and women to get creative when using social media in tandem with activism.
Here's to the continued push for activism — both online and IRL.
