Word of the Day: March

Dedication to the history of Peaceful Protest Marches

I will be marching for Ivy Rose, my beautiful, 5-month-old granddaughter, at my fourth Women’s March this Saturday in Syracuse, NY.

I dedicated the first Women’s March on Washington in 2017 to my nieces’ futures.

March #2 was in Central New York called “CNY Women Rising,” which I co-hosted and dedicated to members of my feminist business organization.

In 2019, I traveled to NYC to march there with one of my daughters-in-law.

According to www.visionsofhumanity.org, peaceful protests are powerful. “From the Salt Marches to the Montgomery Bus Boycott, history is littered with peaceful protests having a powerful and lasting impact, shaping the world to become a fairer, freer, and more peaceful place.”

Entering my third decade of uniting, inspiring, and marketing women entrepreneurs and female athletes, I strongly believe in joining my sisters in peaceful marches to remind men and people in power that women make up 51% of the US population, which gives us instrumental voices.

I strongly believe in my motto: “The future won’t change for women unless women change the world for women.” I will not stop marching while my daughters, sisters, granddaughters, mothers, nieces, and friends live with inequality. Why would I?

Today, I want to ask you: What do you march for? What inequality are you trying to change in our world? Let me know.
