On the anniversary of the first Women's March on Washington and in conjunction with a national call to oppose the Trump agenda, the Mid-Missouri Solidarity Network will be holding a march and rally in Columbia, MO.
This rally will span many issues including: Civil Rights, Economy, Education, Environment, Foreign Policy, Healthcare and many, many more. Whatever your cause may be, you are bound to find like minded individuals in attendance. It is our hope to voice our dissent in regard to the direction our country is headed and leave attendees with a positive message for change and how they can be a part of it!
Gathering and Music (Violet and the Undercurrents) to begin at 1pm. Opening speakers to begin at 1:20pm. Our march will take us 10 city blocks. If you are unable to join us for the march, stick around and stay warm in the County Government building and then join us after the march for our other fabulous speakers!
