Salem Women's March 2019 is Coming Up

The event is Saturday, January 19th from 11 a.m - 3 p.m. at the Oregon State Capitol Steps/Mall on Court Street.

(SALEM, Ore.) - Thousands of women from Salem, Eugene and surrounding areas will rally and march in Salem, along with thousands of women in cities across the country and the globe on Saturday, January 19, 2019 as part of the third annual Women's March.

“The Women’s March is not just a March, it is a movement and it has shown its power the change political outcomes and the direction our society is going,” said Debbie Miller, President of the organizing Board for this year’s Women’s March in Salem.

Women will march in support and solidarity with other women and supporters to remember and solidify the power and the influence that women built by taking to the streets in 2017 and 2018, bringing particular attention to equity in healthcare, wages, and power.

“Not only are a large portion of national leaders ineffective, but they are also destructive to the welfare of their constituents.

"We must make sure they never feel we think their selfish, greedy and amoral behavior is seen as normal. So, we take any and all opportunities to rise up, making ourselves visible and heard all the way to D.C.,” said Joan Warnock, Secretary of Women's March Salem.

Why do you have a link to build the wall on this website about the Women's march? It doesn't have a link to a "no" It is merely an advertisement for Trump so put it on the oval office speech page but not the women's march. Doesn't look very independent to me.

EDITOR: You must be seeing a random Google ad, we have no such ad on our website (of our own volition). Thanks for the heads up, and we do apologize for the unwanted pollution!
