Women's March - October 23, 2021
In partnership with numerous partner women- and girl-serving organizations from the region, the Women’s March is a large-scale public event on Saturday October 23, 201.
Beginning from the steps of the Colonial Building where women first marched for the right to vote in 1921, both community groups and public citizens will march en masse to our modern day city hall for a rally on the state of women’s rights in 2021.
We’re just getting the planning started, but our draft goals so far are:
We are encouraging this event to be shaped in collaboration with our sisters and sister-organizations within the community.
We want to make this Women's March something that reflects all of the women across our communities: women on the frontlines making minimum wage, transgender women, artists and writers, Indigenous women, Black women and women of colour, women on government income support, single mothers, women living with disabilities, survivors, new comer and refugee women, women running local businesses, students and international students, women with experience in the sex trade, women supporting their neighbours, and many other experiences.
If you're interested in helping organize a Women's March this year please contact us at info@persistencetheatre.com. Our next organizing meeting will be on Friday May 28th and we’d love to expand our group.
Otherwise, just set your calendar for Saturday October 23, 2021, and plan to join us as we march together. Thank you.

We’re just getting the planning started, but our draft goals so far are:
- To inspire change towards equity and safety within and across all of our communities, with and for each other.
- To commemorate our history and highlight the connectedness of our struggles
- To commit to showing up for and learning from each other
