GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Hundreds gathered in Grand Rapids and thousands in Kalamazoo Sunday to participate in Women’s Marches as part of the international movement‘s second year.
This year, the marches also promoted “Power to the Polls,” which urges women to vote for change and equal rights for all.
“Grab ’em by the midterms,” one popular sign at the event in downtown Grand Rapids read.
“In 289 days, we will vote. Nasty women are the antidote,” another, also referencing the 2016 presidential election, said.
Many of the demonstrators who gathered at Rosa Parks Circle carried signs, most of which were homemade.
“Voting is my superpower,” another sign said.
Others criticized President Donald Trump or defended federal protections for child immigrants.
