Portland Womxn’s March to draw crowd, take to streets in downtown Portland
March 3, 2019
The Portland Womxn's March begins with a rally noon Sunday in downtown Portland with a march through nearby streets to follow.
While some other women's marches were held around the country on the Jan. 19-21 weekend, organizers for the Portland event chose to focus on the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday and events during those dates, which moved the Portland march and rally to Sunday.
Speakers for the march and rally, which are expected to conclude at 3 p.m., include Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, D-Ore.; Multnomah County Commissioner Susheela Jayapal; and Reyna Lopez, the executive director of PCUN, Oregon's largest farm worker union.
