Women’s March on Friday Harbor

From the kitchen to the streets: these heels and pearls are made for walking…

Residents of the San Juan Islands are coming together to support human rights and the environment in our county and our country. A community march is planned for Saturday, January 21st at 12:00pm noon. This march is in conjunction with the larger national and regional marches in Washington D.C., Seattle, and across the country.

Our mission is to spread love, hope, community, empowerment, and awareness; to stand in solidarity with our partners and children for the protection of our rights, our safety, our health, our environment, and our families. Our women’s led movement recognizes that our vibrant and diverse communities are the strength of our county and our country.

The Women’s March on Friday Harbor hopes to continue to strengthen the sense of community and support that already exists within our island home; some businesses are even closing during the march so their employees can participate. While we call it a women’s march, all are invited and encouraged to participate, regardless of gender, gender identity, ethnicity, age, ability, political affiliation, religion, or sexual orientation. This is truly an event for everyone. Because women’s rights are human rights.

The Women’s March on Friday Harbor will meet on the Friday Harbor Courthouse lawn at noon on Saturday, January 21st. The march route will take us through town and end at the Friday Harbor Middle School commons where there will be a reception. This will include live broadcasts of the marches in D.C. and Seattle, local speakers, coffee and light snacks, opportunities for activism, and community booths.
