CLEVELANDURBANNEWS.COM, CLEVELAND, Ohio-
The Bernie Sanders presidential campaign in Cuyahoga County and in Ohio will attend the 4th annual women's march, which will be held Sat., Jan 18, 2020, beginning at 10:30 am on the outside steps of Cleveland City Hall in downtown Cleveland.Speeches are at 10:45 am, followed by a noon march to Public Square.
Women in greater Cleveland will join women across the globe and nationally on Jan 18 for the annual march which began in 2017 following the inauguration of President Trump, who dogged women during his 2016 campaign for president against Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, the first woman Democratic nominee of a major American political party.
In 2017 millions of United States women took to the streets in their fight for women and even today Women's March is one of the few groups remaining among some 32 that took on Trump since his inauguration three-years-ago, including the tax march, the march for science, and the families belong together march.
The Sanders campaign announced its support of Women's march Cleveland on Facebook and via a message to organizers who say that "all people who support women and our progressive Women's March Cleveland agenda are invited."
"We will attend Women's March Cleveland and pass out literature," the campaign said.
The non-partisan anniversary event will feature Cleveland Rape Crisis Center President and CEO Sondra Miller, state Rep Juanita Brent of Cleveland and the Rev Tony Minor as keynote speakers, and state Sen Nickie Antonio of Lakewood, a women's rights advocate who pushes for public policy changes in the state legislature for the betterment of women and others, is the opening speaker.
Some 20 greater Cleveland activist groups participating and activists will also be among the speakers. Those groups, or group members, include Black on Black Crime Inc., Imperial Women Coalition, National Congress of Black Women Cleveland Chapter, Black Lives Matter, Greater Cleveland Independent Black Journalist, International Women's Day March Cleveland, League of Women Voters, Greater Cleveland Immigrant Support Network, Move to Amend, Peace Action, Women Speak Out for Peace and Justice, Carl Stokes Brigade, National Congress of Black Women, BEMAD, Protecting Our Children's Safety, Refuse Fascism Ohio, Northeast Ohio Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign, Organize Ohio, Badass Teachers, Coalition to Stop the Inhumanity in the Cuyahoga County Jail, Action Together Lakewood, Cuyahoga County Progressive Caucus, Stop Targeting Ohio's Poor, Planned Parenthood Advocates of Ohio, Black Man's Army, and the Black Women's PAC of Greater Cleveland. The issues range from the policies out of Washington, D.C. and civil, voting and reproductive rights to education, racism, sexism, climate change, equal pay, jobs, taxes, immigration and religious and other bigotry.
Also at issue, said organizers, are healthcare, violence against women, criminal justice reform, excessive force, science and technology, and the LGBTQ community, among a host of other concerns.
Coleman is a longtime Black Cleveland activist and said that the rally is being held on the steps of Cleveland City Hall because Cleveland is the hub of the northeast Ohio region and that "Cleveland women in particular want to know what is being done at both the state and federal levels about heightened violence against women and girls and to assist women and their families who reside in largely Black and struggling major American cities."
From the rise of the #MeToo movement to allegations against high-profile celebrities, public officials, priests and powerful business executives, sexual violence has never been more prominent in our national headlines.
In the midst of recent news stories, an unprecedented volume of local and greater Cleveland survivors of rape and sexual abuse have been speaking out, sharing their experiences and asking for help. Stand with women in greater Cleveland and their supporters, and women across the globe, as we demand equal opportunity and fair play for women on Jan. 18, 2020 in Cleveland, Ohio, a largely Black major American city.
