Join us on Saturday, January 19th for the 2019 Northern New Mexico Women’s March in Santa Fe! We will be joining people in cities across the globe in marching to bring attention to gender and social justice issues. The #WomensWave is coming, and we’re sweeping the world forward with us.
The March will begin at 11am at the Roundhouse and continue on to the Santa Fe Plaza where a line-up of inspiring speakers and performers will share their wisdom and experiences from 12pm – 2pm. Check out the Facebook event page here!
