Space Winnipeg: March and People Rsvping

space winnipeg: In Winnipeg, at least 20 grassroots groups including unions, students, immigrants, refugees and members of the LGBTQ community have signed on to march down Portage Avenue, according to Metro News. Alexa Potashnik, the founder of Black Space Winnipeg, will emcee the event. What started as thousands of people RSVPing to a single march in Washington, D.C. has turned into synchronized sister marches across the globe. She notes everyone is marching for different reasons, not necessarily to protest Trump. The march in Washington, from what I know, is really centred around anti-Trump. We're really coming together to take a stand against oppression and stand up for human rights and women's rights, she said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
