March organizer Maya Cowan says they started the event to support a variety of different women’s rights issues.
“Things like violence against women, things like reproductive justice and we don’t want to be just, kind of, sitting around congratulating ourselves,” she said. In a largely online world, many of these issues and people who provide a voice for them, have found homes on the internet.However, recently inaugurated city councillor Wendy Stephen says it’s also important to get boots on the ground.“It gives us that energy that you don’t get online, I think it lifts up that positivity. Online can often be a negative space,” she said.
Shortly after the clock struck noon, the marchers with signs began walking around city hall, chanting as they went.
