Sudbury's second annual Women's March happens Saturday, Jan. 19 at 11 a.m.
For the second year, Sudburians will march in solidarity with women and human rights groups from across the world.
“We recognize that there is no true peace, freedom, or inclusion without equity for all,” said march co-organizer Amanda Kingsley Malo, in a press release. “We march because there is still so much work to do to protect and advance the rights of women, and the rights of all vulnerable citizens in our country. We look forward to welcoming fellow marchers and allies.”
This event is accessible, open, and inclusive. The march happens snow or shine. Participants are gathering in the York Street parking lot across from Bell Park at 10:45 a.m. for remarks from Tammy Gaber and Emily Caruso Parnell.
“We are incredibly excited to hear from Tammy and Emily, who are not only inspiring women, but also very active and engaged community leaders,” said Kingsley Malo.
The march will follow at 11 a.m., where participants will begin the walk down the sidewalk along Paris Street over the Bridge of Nations and back.
Additional details are available on the group's Facebook event page, and will continue to be updated there as the date approaches. Free hot chocolate will be available to all marchers through the generous donation of Tim Hortons (Kingsway, Algonquin and Martindale locations).
Anybody looking for more information should visit their Facebook event or send an email to Amanda Kingsley Malo at [email protected].
