With COVID cases on the rise in Northwest Florida, the Pensacola chapter of Women s March Florida decided to host the 2021 event virtually bringing in speakers from across the state on Saturday, Jan. 23.
This year’s Women’s March comes four years after the initial event was organized in D.C. as a response to the inauguration of President Donald Trump. Now, this year there’s a new administration in the White House. But, Women s March Pensacola President Allison Ferreira says they’ll be organizing for the same issues as before.
“(It’s) still a pivotal moment in society as a whole with women’s rights, she said. We’re going to continue to show this administration, we’re not going to back down from maintaining and progressing women’s rights. It’s not a Democratic or Republican agenda, it’s a human rights agenda. We’re going to continue to hold any and all establishments accountable.”
