With the Nov. 3 election looming, hundreds of women marched downtown Saturday morning to make their case against electing President Donald Trump for a second term.
“This is the most crucial election of our lifetime,” organizer Gianna Gizzi told a crowd of several hundred who gathered at Federal Plaza in the yearly event meant to empower woman and encourage equality.
“We’re marching for the people here and those who can’t be here,” Gizzi said.
Though this year’s march paled in comparison to the 2017 gathering that drew tens of thousands, the rally also attracted first-timers, including Michele McGowan, who said she came with a friend to let politicians know the will of the people.
“This is something we should be fighting for. Our politicians shouldn’t be choosing our fate — we should,” she said.
Police cordoned the marchers to the sidewalk as they made their way down Dearborn Street to Daley Plaza.
Marchers held signs that said, “Vote for change “ and “I’m doing this now so my future daughter does not have to.”
Elementary school teacher Lillian Puicha told the crowd that electing Trump for a second term would imperil programs like Planned Parenthood and harm a woman’s right to choose an abortion.
“Women, we are at risk of losing so much this election,” said 24-year-old Puicha, of downstate Normal.
“Empowered women empower other women,” she said. “Our bodies are ours — that’s why we’re here.”
Organizers also rallied virtually with a Zoom rally hosted by the Women’s March Chicago chapter, which included an appearance from Mayor Lori Lightfoot.

Organized by Gianna Gizzi, Associate attorney at Kulis Law in Chicago:
"Gianna primarily represents clients who have been the victims of police brutality and officer misconduct... Before joining Kulis Law, Gianna worked at a nonprofit organization, Equip for Equality, during her first and second years of law school. Specifically, Gianna worked on the nonprofit’s civil rights team, where her passion for advocating on behalf of underrepresented communities grew."
Good grief.
“hundreds”
outside of the media there is about 200. so yea I guess “hundreds” qualifies.
“These people are sick!”
It’s a shame y’all missed it
Meanwhile, 20-thousand more people show up for a Trump rally than the venue can hold.
These women are so stupid. Even if Roe is struck down every state in the union allows abortion at some stage of the pregnancy.
It is a state’s issue. What goofballs.
Why are these women so concerned about abortion rights?
Birth control is not expensive. Many states hand out condoms for free. Do these women have no problem killing a live fetus destined to be born as a healthy human being?
Abortion of any fetus which is capable to survive outside of mother’s uterus is pre-meditated murder, period. Late term abortions are murder-1. I can compromise on violent rapes (all rapes are basically violent) and Incest. But no need to kill the fetus at all later on after 1st trimester.
FYI, I do NOT see a single PxxxY hat. -Could it be that even the RAD-FEMs figured out that NOBODY was pleased with their HATE, UTTER NONSENSE & VULGAR TALK??

I don’t think Gianna has to worry about God using her body as an Easy Bake Oven. No man with any amount of self-esteem would have sex with that.
Wasn’t the Women’s March supposed to be in January or February?
And then Harvey Weinstein couldn’t keep his pickle packaged.
And all of those women who’d been wronged by him and the liberal women who’d befriended him FINALLY had to say something because “Trump”.
Those broads?
If that Puritan-y looking woman doesn’t think women are Easy Bake Ovens for God, how does she think she got here?
Thank goodness they’re wearing masks!!! #Butterface #Two-bagger
Christianity == Fascism?
Homofascist hate rally
Do these angry dykes realize that over 25,000,000 girls have been slaughtered in America by abortionists?
Yep...let's take a look, you loser:

I got it, you don't like him. How special of you. He is serving you and ALL the American people. What are you doing besides calling him names?"
“We’re marching for the people here and those who can’t be here,” Gizzi said.”
The people who couldn’t be there are the millions of murdered babies.
I don’t think these demons speak for them.
A bunch of bitter, crazy, unmarriageable dog crap.
Not even after she upped her game from 2018.
I had the exact same thought. Thank God for small favors.
