CLEVELAND, OHIO-Led by Women's March Cleveland, greater Cleveland activist women and their supporters will take to the streets in mass on Sun., March 8, 2026 to march on International Women's Day as part of a national day of action. It is the tenth year following Cleveland's first International Women's Day march in 2017. Speakers will be announced in the coming month.
The event will begin at Market Square Park near downtown Cleveland at 2pm with a rally and speeches, followed by a 30-minute march before marchers return to Market Square.
Organizers say that while women's rights are paramount, the major premise of Cleveland's march, and marches countrywide, is standing against the divisive, illegal, and unconstitutional policies of President Donald Trump and his administration. Also at issue, activists say, are attempts by Republican elected officials in Ohio to roll back a win on Issue 1, which Ohio voters approved at the ballot box in November 2023 in enshrining the right to access to abortion in the Ohio Constitution.
Event organizers for Cleveland's March 8, 2026 march are Women's March Cleveland head organizer Kathy Wray Coleman, Alysa Cooper Moskey, Sierra Mason, and Alfred Porter Jr. of Black on Black Crime Inc. and the Black Man's Army.
"We will march this year on International Women's Day in Cleveland to address the many issues impacting women in Northeast Ohio and around the country, from ICE murders to violence against women, and the attack on SNAP benefits, reproductive rights, and civil rights," said Women's March Cleveland head organizer Kathy Wray Coleman. "
"This is a movement, not a moment," Coleman said."And community activists will continue to fight in the trenches as grassroots activists until justice prevails."
Stay tuned for more upcoming information on the aforementioned event, including event speakers.
