Miles de tucsonenses tomaron las calles del centro de la ciudad el domingo 20 de enero como parte de la Marcha de las Mujeres de Tucsón.
La misión de la marcha es "aprovechar el poder político de diversas mujeres y sus comunidades para crear un cambio social transformador" y contó con una serie de oradores y artistas de la comunidad de Tucsón.
Este año, jugadoras de toka Tohono O'odham y las mujeres indígenas encabezaron la marcha. Toka es un deporte de los Tohono O'odham similar al hockey y jugado por mujeres.
Todo comenzó alrededor de las 10 a.m. en la Plaza Jácome con varios discursos, incluida una introducción del alcalde de Tucsón, Jonathan Rothschild, y un poema de la poetiza Ofelia Zepeda, de la comunidad Tohono O'odham.
La marcha comenzó a las 11 a.m. por N. Stone Avenue avanzó Franklin Street, después a Grande Avenue y luego a Alemeda Street, para regresar a la Plaza Jácome.
