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.
