Around the world yesterday, people showed up.
In Washington, Boston, London, Paris, Oslo, New York, Sydney, and many, many more cities around the globe people showed up to participate in local versions of the Women’s March on DC.
Including Calgary.
The #womensmarchyyc garnered up to 4,000 people of supporters as they rallied in front of the Women are Persons Famous 5 statue by Arts Commons in downtown and marched down Stephen Avenue.
The march aimed to stand up to the kind of misogynistic rhetoric seen during the US election and was timed to coincide with Donald Trump’s first full day in office.
Calgary marchers Kelsy Norman and Kevin Jepsen shared their experiences on YouTube.
