The Orange County Women’s March rallied together close to 15,000 women and supporters in Santa Ana to denounce hate in a gathering that is “distinctly independent” of the national organization Women’s March, Inc.
Marching is as American as Apple pie, writes Ada Briceño, Co-President of UNITE HERE Local 11 in Orange County, noting the variety of causes she’ll be supporting by marching with thousands of others in Santa Ana on Jan. 20 for the annual Women’s March.
Ada Briceño, Co-President of UNITE HERE Local 11 in Orange County, writes that the #MeToo movement has put a new focus on the upcoming Women’s March in Santa Ana on Saturday, Jan. 20.
Rachel Potucek, a volunteer for the OC Women’s March, writes that the weekend rally showed that Orange County’s progressive communities have new room and an opportunity to unite on issues ranging from housing, health, social justice, fair pay, immigration, education and equity.
Upwards of 10,000 people joined the Women’s March in Santa Ana Saturday to rebuke the administration of Donald J. Trump and call for equal treatment of women, minorities and immigrants. It was one of many such protests held throughout the nation and the world.
