The 2019 Women’s March takes place this Saturday, January 19.
The theme for this year’s March On Vancouver is Resist! Persist!
This is the third year that people of all backgrounds have come together to march to empower, inspire, unite and lead the charge for advancement of women across Canada and the world.
We encourage members to take part in a march in their area this year, and to share their stories on social media using the hashtag #womenswave.
