Second annual Chico Women’s March focuses on women’s rights, social justice
Saturday (Jan. 20) marked the second annual Women’s March in Chico since the election of President Donald Trump. The inclusive, nonpartisan movement’s mission is to empower those who support women’s rights, human rights, civil liberties and social justice. The estimate on this year’s attendance locally varies—from 3,000, like last year, to more than double that amount. Last year’s march represented the largest single day of protest in American history, with 2.6 million people participating nationally.
