Join us November 2, 2024, at 10 a.m. on the Statehouse Lawn for the Vermont Women's Rally, a sister event to the National Women's March. Our 2017 Rally was the largest in state history—let's come together again to show our strength and say: We will not go back! This Rally will be a celebration of Vermont's commitment to ensure equality for women and to recognize the power voters hold to fight for women's rights. Free parking in state lots.
Melinda Moulton is the Master of Ceremonies.
Singer-songwriter Patti Casey will open the Rally.
Beverly Little Thunder and her daughter Lushanya Echeverria will speak together to honor the original Indigenous inhabitants with a land acknowledgement. Vermont Poet Laureate Bianca Stone will deliver a poem.
It is our hope that Senator Bernie Sanders, Senator Peter Welch, and Representative Becca Balint will address the gathering. Charity Clark, Vermont Attorney General; Jessica Barquist, Director of Planned Parenthood Vermont Action Fund; and Ann Pugh, retired State Representative and women's rights leader, will be speaking along with Kiah Morris, Kennedy Jansen, Christine Hallquist, and Jayna Ahsaf.
To close out the rally, singer-songwriters Dwight and Nicole will perform.
