March 8, 2017,
10:00 am to 1:00 pm

Women and our Allies will not be silenced. We remember our ancestors, those who inspire us, and those who do not have the liberty to speak truth to power. We encourage you to join this action of solidarity to find the peace, joy and connection that we need to nourish and sustain us during this negative political climate and to remind our new administration that we are here. HEAR OUR VOICE!

This day is being honored with a Sidewalk March through San Luis Obispo and a Moment of Silence at Mission Plaza. 

If you cannot participate in the entire event, please meet us anywhere along the route, or join the Moment of Silence at Mission Plaza from 12:00-12:15.
