One hundred years after the passage of the 19th Amendment, women across the country will come together for the fourth annual Women’s March events.
Marking the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment acknowledging women’s right to vote, tens of thousands of women will gather in Los Angeles and other cities across the country Saturday to advocate for equal rights and other issues as part of the fourth annualSince the first worldwide demonstration in 2017, coming the day after President Trump’s inauguration, organizers of the march have struggled with their own leadership issues.
The outrage led several groups to withdraw their support, including the Democratic National Committee and EMILY’s List, and prompted organizers at sister marches throughout the country, including Los Angeles, to define their separation from the national organization.“We have been our own separate entity from Day One – our own nonprofit, our own board. We are self-funded,” said Emiliana Guereca, president of Women’s March Foundation.
“We’re expecting about half a million people to show up to downtown Los Angeles. We are expecting a nice day of female empowerment,” Guereca said. “We do expect a lot of people to take to the streets because it’s critical we do raise our voices for 2020.”, an antiabortion demonstration, is also scheduled Saturday in downtown Los Angeles. The noontime march, sponsored by OneLife L.A., will run from Olvera Street to Los Angeles State Park.
“The first Women’s March was really about making voices heard,” she said. “What’s happened in the evolution is that women have gone back into their communities and figured out what their next steps should be.”
