Hear Our Voice: First Anniversary of Women's March Observed in Lyon


Under the theme “Hear our Voice”, the first anniversary Women’s March rally was held in Lyon on January 21, 2018 in solidarity with the Global Women’s Caucus.  About 30 people, women and men, members and non-members, met at in the city center's Place des Terreaux armed with signs and passion for the cause of sexual equality and a harrassment-free world.

Co-chair Robin Guinot explained that our mission was "not only to mark the anniversary of the Women’s March, but to keep the momentum of this movement going."  Attendees then shared their thoughts, experiences and hopes for the future.  We wrapped up by emphasizing that our POWER is our vote.  Literature from the GOTV campaign was of course available because OUR VOTE IS OUR VOICE.  Later, the group assembled at Lyon cafe for more talk and mutual support.
