Grand Rapids

Start 2019 off with a clear message that women will not be silenced! Join us in giving voice to the multitude of issues that women/femmes experience on a daily basis at the Grand Rapids, Michigan Women's March. This event will be inclusive and intersectional, as all feminist movements should be.

We have a number of speakers lined up for this event. The march will be approximately 30 minutes through the downtown area, looping back to Calder Plaza.

Several groups will be giving 5 minute presentations and remain available to speak with those interested in the group. VNP, CCL, LCV, LWV, PWA and a Pollinator Champion (Native Michigan bees), Wild Ones River City Chapter (native plants) and possibly other groups not yet confirmed. This is a non-partisan event. Kashk, hummus and pita bread will be served. And apple pie and some other dessert to be determined. Bring your own beverage.
