1/19/19 The #WomensWave is coming to [Chillicothe, Ohio]
Chillicothe among 3rd Annual Women’s Marches to be held nationwide in 2019
Chillicothe, Ohio -- In the wake of the 2018 midterms that propelled an unprecedented wave of women to Congress, Chillicothe Sister March announces a Women’s March in Chillicothe in coordination with sister marches in cities and communities across the globe. The march in Chillicothe is one of hundreds happening nationwide on January 19, 2019, commemorating the 2017 Women’s March on Washington.
“On January 19, people from around the country will unite in Washington, DC, to make their voices heard,” said Beth Workman, a spokesperson for Chillicothe Sister March. “We’ve been organizing locally to advocate for the policies that matter to us, and impact women’s lives, and we’re flooding the streets in solidarity with our sisters in DC to remind the country that Chillicothe resists.
Two years after the historic 2017 Women’s March that was the largest single-day protest in US history, women, femmes, and allies will march in towns, cities and communities from Chillicothe to Los Angeles as part of a nationwide #WomensWave.
“The 2017 Women’s March galvanized this country and birthed a new wave of the women’s rights movement,” said . “That wave is taking to the streets, here in Chillicothe and nationwide, and we’re coming with an agenda.”
