Houghton – A People’s March
January 18 @ 1:00 pm
A People’s March will take place on Saturday, January 18, at 1 p.m. to celebrate our US Constitution and Bill of Rights. In Washington, D.C. and across our country, people will be marching to show support for our democracy.
Come march with us! We will gather at Bridgeview Park in Houghton to hear introductory remarks, then walk to the Portage Lake Lift Bridge, carrying flags and signs related to Freedom of Speech, Freedom of the Press, Freedom of Religion, Freedom of Assembly, Separation of Powers, and more. LWV signs and attire are okay. (For visibility, signage with letters at least 5 inches in size is recommended.)
This is a time to unite around our democratic values. We want the countries of the world to be able to choose their own governments, creating a more just and sustainable place for people to live together. We march for our grandchildren, democracy, the environment, the climate, wildlife, human rights, choice, healthcare, immigration, labor, for an economy that works for everyone, for free speech, the rule of law, and so much more. Join us in marching for our future.
