The march will then go to City Plaza by the BELIEVE sculpture.

“Over thirty organizations have participated in creating all aspects of this event,” said Amber Black, march leader. “We hope that our elected leaders in Washington, the current Administration, and women around the world will realize that American women and the men who support them, will continue to fight for justice, inclusion, and rights that nature and the times demand. We will not relent.”
