on the day before international women's day, we're taking to the streets.
Women’s March Ottawa is excited to that we will once again be hitting the streets to protest all forms of oppression and discrimination in Ottawa, Canada and Globally on March 7th 2020. We acknowledge that we will be gathering and protesting on the unceded and unsurrendered territory of the Algonquin people. As an Ottawa-based feminist group, we acknowledge the historic and current impacts of colonialism. We commit to reconciliation and living out right relations with Indigenous peoples.
