The Policial Action and Civic Engagement (PACE) Action Team of the Orcas Women's Coalition (OWC) presents a community-wide celebration of women on March 8, 2017, in honor of International Women's Day. We welcome the island's participation!

Please join us from 3-5pm on the Village Green in Eastsound for "Raise Her Voice," a gathering which will include an all-female open-mic event, a self-guided "Follow in Her Footsteps" walking tour of American Women's History, and an opportunity to express yourself by bringing a sign of your creation to add to our "Wall of Women" - signs might feature historic women, important events in Women's history, important modern-day leaders, interesting facts, artwork, fun quotes, or whatever inspires you on International Women's Day.

It will surely be a memorable event. Bring your words of wisdom, courage, and joy. Bring your stories, experiences, and sage advice. Together we will gather to celebrate women everywhere and rejoice in our beautiful community.
