In 2020, we march again.
The 2020 March
On March 07, 2020, at 10:00 a.m., thousands of participants will gather on Parliament Hill. After listening to a welcoming Indigenous drumming ceremony and a few speakers, we will march to the steps of Ottawa City Hall. This is a peaceful and family-friendly march that welcomes all participants and aims to be intersectional and accessible. Additional speakers, workshops, community organizations, and vendors will welcome participants at City Hall and we encourage all to engage, discuss, and enjoy the afternoon until the event ends at 3:00 p.m.
Background
Women’s March Ottawa held its first march in January 2017 in solidarity with the demonstrators that descended on Washington, D.C. to raise awareness of women’s rights. But we are more than a march—we’re a movement. The goal of subsequent marches in Ottawa is to support the work of Women’s March Canada and its global themes, while raising awareness of local issues.
Who We Are
Women’s March Ottawa is a chapter of Women’s March Global, a national organization with a goal of inspiring, uniting and leading the charge for the advancement of women across the world. The work that we do, our vision and values can be explained in a unifying framework called H.E.R.S., which spells out the women’s rights priorities of Health, Economic Security, Representation and Safety.
