It’s time again for the International Women’s Day march to take to the streets of Sacramento. The Women’s Day march was formed to empower the voices of women, LGBTQ+ people and people of color, and has returned every year for four years since to do so. Since I’m not a woman, I’ll let my partner Ashley Hayes-Stone speak about the International Women’s Day march: “The women’s march is about letting women’s voices be heard about women’s issues that feel repressed by today’s society. It’s about bringing awareness to all of the things that affected us, and for transgender women too. It’s about abuse, wages, lack of representation. I think it’s important to have because it shows future generations that they don’t have to feel repressed and can feel that their voices are heard.”
