Women's March - Salt Lake City, UT
Start: Monday, January 23, 2017• 2:00 PM
Utah Women Unite exists to protect and
advance the rights of all Utah women and girls, including Utah’s
marginalized groups, women of color, LGBTQIA+ individuals, women of all
abilities and from every financial status. We seek to unite as an
intersectional collective to address the political, legal, and cultural
problems faced by Utah women and to elevate the status and dignity of
all people.
On January 23, 2017, the first day of the Utah
State Legislative Session, we will march from City Creek Park to the
Capitol Rotunda (inside the Capitol building) to show our strength,
power and courage and demonstrate our disapproval of Utah politician's
anti-woman rhetoric and actions.
This march is in solidarity with the Jan 21st Women's March on Washington https://www.facebook.com/events/1811012359168622/ & is our local response.
This is the page for UTAH WOMEN and Allies who want to show THE UTAH
STATE LEGISLATURE that it's time for women to be heard, it's time for
women to stand up and demand equality.
Please help spread the word to everyone you know in Utah. Let's make Utah History!
This will be an INCLUSIVE march, and EVERYONE who supports women's rights is welcome:
- People of all genders
- Children of all genders
- Families
- People of Color
- Immigrants
- LGBTQIA+ Community
- Disabled Folks (message us for accommodation information)
