CLEVELAND, Ohio-Women's March Cleveland will host its finale rally and march beginning at noon at Market Square Park in the Ohio City neighborhood on Sat. Nov. 2, 2024,  a sister march to the National Women's March, with marches in cities across the country also scheduled for that day.

Women's March Cleveland head organizer Kathy Wray Coleman said the rally and march are for reproductive and civil rights.

Speakers include elected officials, activists, and women's rights advocates.

Cleveland Councilman Kevin Conwell and his Footprints band will headline the event.

"We need all women and our supporters on deck for this vital event because we have so much on the line this year," said Coleman, a longtime Cleveland activist for more than 25 years. " This is a march for reproductive freedom and civil rights for women in Cleveland, and greater Cleveland."

Coleman said that greater Cleveland activist women have been in the trenches prior to the June 24, 2022 reversal of Roe v. Wade decision by the U.S. Supreme Court and relative to the campaign in Ohio in 2023 regarding the successful ballot Issue 1 that enshrined the right to abortion access and other reproductive rights for women in the Ohio Constitution via a constitutional amendment.

"Now radical extremists want a national abortion ban," she said, "so the fight for reproductive justice for women continues."

Other issues slated to be addressed at the event include education, poverty, equal pay, worker's rights, immigration, healthcare, racism, sexism, and heinous violence against women. Call 216-659-0473 for more information
