Women’s March Coming To Geneva This Month

GENEVA, IL -- A women’s march will be held in Geneva in the coming weeks. The march is meant to give local women a chance to advocate for rights that improve women’s lives, according to a news release from the Fox Valley Women’s March. The march will begin at 10 a.m. on Jan. 19 in the Kane County Courthouse parking lot, 100 South Third Street in Geneva.

The march in Geneva is a locally-led march and is not affiliated with the
National Women’s March Organization.

“On January 19, we’ll flood the streets of Geneva in solidarity with our sisters and
brothers across the globe to advocate for rights that improve the lives of women” said
Mary O’Connor, a spokesperson for We Can Lead Change Fox Valley. “Our local march
is led by women, but is for everyone. When women rise, we bring our communities with
us, and our march is bringing together people from all backgrounds, faiths, genders,
ethnicities, disabilities, sexualities, ages, and immigration statuses to affirm our shared
humanity."

The march is organized by We Can Lead Change Fox Valley and Kane County Coalition.
