Women's March Mendocino Coast 2018

On January 20, 2018, cities across California and the United States will unite to reaffirm our commitment to building a positive and just future for all, and to celebrate the spirit of resistance efforts over the past year. This day of action is designed to engage and empower all people to support women’s rights, human rights, social and environmental justice, and to encourage participation in 2018 midterm elections. HEAR OUR VOTE!

We will be marching concurrently with The 2018 March for Our Future, led by the Mendocino High School Amnesty International Club, the Fort Bragg High School Progressive Club, and students from Mendocino and Fort Bragg middle schools. Everyone is welcome at these marches.

Gather at Fort Bragg Town Hall and march on the sidewalks through downtown, with a rally and program at Bainbridge Park, rain or shine. Confirmed speakers include Ui Wesley, Karina Becerra, Misty Meadlin, Lia Holbrook, ruth weiss, and Sherry Glaser as MC, with more to come. The Coast Democratic Club will offer voter registration at the park as well.

Please note: This event is a celebration of solidarity and positive purpose. The intent is not to protest local targets or disrupt local citizens or businesses. Participants are asked to stay on the sidewalks and observe normal pedestrian/traffic guidelines.

Accessibility: The route will be chosen to minimize inclines and use curb cuts, and will be flexible for those who need a shorter route. Restrooms at Town Hall and Bainbridge Park are ADA compliant. The volunteers putting on this event want it to be accessible for all. Please let us know what you need to fully participate. Requests for accommodations can be served more effectively if you get in touch at least 10 days before the event. Accommodation requests can be sent to mendohuddle@gmail.com
