***We respectfully acknowledge that we are located on Treaty 6 territory, a traditional gathering place for diverse Indigenous peoples including the Cree, Blackfoot, Métis, Nakota Sioux, Iroquois, Dene, Ojibway/ Saulteaux/Anishinaabe, Inuit, and many others whose histories, languages, and cultures continue to influence our vibrant community.***
On January 21, 2017, over 4000 people here in Edmonton gathered at the Alberta Legislature joining thousands across Alberta, and millions around the world, as we stood against hatred and bigotry in our public discourse and affirmed that Women's Rights are Human Rights.
WE BELIEVE THERE IS STILL WORK TO DO.
AND SO, WE MARCH ON.
On January 20, 2018 the March On Edmonton Collective will be in solidarity with cities across North America for this anniversary event. Join us at 1 p.m. again at the Alberta Legislature for Edmonton's Official Women's Anniversary March.
The March On Edmonton Collective is a grassroots group of women that formed from last year's march, and includes those who originally organized it. We welcome input and feedback, especially from Indigenous women and Women of Colour. You can reach the organizers at wmwyeg@gmail.com.
