Women’s March
It’s been a year since the Women’s March stormed the country’s streets in reaction to Donald Trump’s election.
The march was the single largest protest in American history, drawing millions of women to not only protest Trump but also raise awareness about a range of issues.
This weekend, women are marching again, around the country and here in Jacksonville. It takes place 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Jan. 21 at the Jacksonville Landing.
