Portsmouth – Seacoast Women’s March 2020
The NH Women’s March is an empowering event in support women’s rights, human rights, social and environmental justice. The Portsmouth event is hosted by several grassroots organizations with deep roots and commitment to advancing these values in our community.
*****************************************************************************
There will be 6 speakers at 1 pm followed by and an ACTUAL MARCH around downtown Portsmouth with the magnificent Leftist Marching Band! We will take our voices, our music and our signs down Daniel Street towards the Memorial Bridge and back on State street. We will have peacekeepers to help us cross the roads and stay on sidewalks.
It’s been three years since the original Women’s March! Last year we marched again and in both years some of us marched from the Lincoln Memorial to the White House, some of us went to New York or Boston or Concord. In 2017 over 3,500 of us came out and closed down the roads of Portsmouth.
As a show of solidarity, to demand our rights to safety and health, as well as demonstrate our strength and courage, we’ll be having another Women’s March event here in Portsmouth, NH that everyone is welcome to. As bad as things are, imagine how bad things would be if we hadn’t come together, resisted, and organized. It’s time to gather again and make our voices heard!
This is an INCLUSIVE event, and EVERYONE who supports women’s rights and human rights FOR ALL are welcome. Invite your friends, family and co-workers. Spread the word!.
We’ll be gathering in front of North Church, Market Square at 1 PM!
If you’d like to help us organize please message us here!
This is an event for ALL, including: women, girls, gender non-conforming, men, boys, trans, people of every race, religion and nationality, refugees, Immigrants and citizens, the LGBTQ+ community, people with disabilities, climate change advocates, veterans, Native Americans and anyone else who wants to come out in support of all of our rights
The Seacoast Women’s March 2020 is being organized by Occupy NH Seacoast and, if there are other organizations that wish to step up and join us, they can message us here.
Please take a moment to mark if you’re coming or interested and invite your friends!. We need your help to make this a success and FB now limits the number of people we can each invite.
South Church of Portsmouth will be hosting a sign-making party at noon on the day of the event.
