The March is On!

On Saturday January 20, join dozens of community groups for the 2nd Annual Western Colorado Women’s March.
This march follows the Women’s March of 2017 where over 5,000 of our friends, family, and neighbors marched to defend the dignity of all people and to honor everything women do for our world. We march for a world that is equitable, tolerant, just and safe for all, and one in which the human rights and dignity of each person are protected. This is a non-partisan event expected to draw thousands to Grand Junction from neighboring communities and all are welcome.
