2019 Women’s March comes to Bozeman Jan. 19
Admire. Inspire. Motivate2Action.
On Saturday, January 19th, join members of the greater community for the 2019 Gallatin & Park County Women’s March. Event participants will gather at the intersection of Babcock and S 8th, marching south on S 8th and ending at the MSU Mall in front of Montana Hall. Following the main event will be an educational and informative program featuring local speakers and representation from local, issue-based organizations.
The march is not a protest, but a non-partisan event in full support of the issues that touch the lives of women throughout Montana. Event organizers and participants value the safety, security, and freedoms for our children and families to live in a quality environment. If you’d like to take part, meet at Babcock and S 8th at 11:45am. The March begins at noon and concludes at MSU around 12:30pm. Program and speakers will be presented from 1–2pm.
This year’s focus celebrates the work of grassroots advocates who effectively are shining a light on issues of importance to Montanans. By taking action on issues, advocating, communicating and providing testimony to Congressional committees, these advocates’ efforts have garnered the full support of Montana’s Congressional delegation resulting in pending legislation!
Savannah’s Act for Missing & Indigenous Women and The Yellowstone Gateway Protection Act have full bi-partisan support of Montana’s Congressional Delegation. More action is required to move these acts over the finish line, which is a motivating factor in inspiring all to get involved with issues that are of importance to us.
The organizers are collecting donations to pay for the permitting license, insurance, posters, and other expenses. Please consider making a donation by going to www.montanawomenfor.org and clicking ‘Donate.’ Paypal and credit/debit cards accepted. Be sure to add the words “Women’s March” in the ‘instructions to seller’ field. Or you can send a check made out to Montana Women For to: MWF, PO Box 2196, Livingston, MT 59047 and please put “Womens March” in the memo line.
All activities will take place outside, so marchers are reminded to wear warm clothes and bring a water bottle. Attendees are encouraged to carpool or use the Streamline Bus to get to the Babcock and S. 8th starting point.
Event hosts look forward to bringing women together in Gallatin and Park Counties, as well as other neighboring counties. All are welcome! For more information, find Women’s March of Gallatin and Park County 2019 on Facebook. •
