Women’s March remembers RBG B Y M ARK B RENNAN Siuslaw News M ore than 100 indi- viduals turned out in front of Florence City Hall for the fourth annual national Women’s March on Saturday. The first national march was nearly four years ago in protest of new- ly-elected President Donald Trump in January 2017. Since then, the focus of the marches has expanded to express concern over women’s rights issues and, most recently, to acknowl- edge the passing of well- known Chief Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. During Saturday’s local rally, speakers and partici- pants were made up primar- ily of women. Short speech- es were given by FOR (Florence ORganizes) founding member Nora Kent and Coos County Commissioner Mellissa Cribbens, who is running for District 5 State Senator. “In this time of multiple crisis, the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a light- ning rod for clarity for many thousands of women to redouble our work for justice,” Kent said. “ We are taking Action across the nation to signal and strengthen our determina- tion to finish what we start- ed when millions of women first marched in January of 2017.” The rally was also held to raise awareness of the Presidential, Senatorial and other ballot elections taking place beyween now and Nov. 3. The event joined more than 400 marches taking place around the nation the same day.
