Supporters gathered at the Oklahoma State Capitol Sunday for the third Women's March in Oklahoma.
Speakers encouraged marchers to show up for all women and marginalized peopleー including the LGBTQ community and women of color. Marchers carried signs urging an end to the government shutdown, support for immigrants, protecting water rights, and encouraging women to run for office.
Women’s Marches were held across the United States over the weekend. Oklahoma organizers held their march this year on Sunday, so a delegation could attend the Washington D.C. march Saturday.
Jessica Edwards, a community college student, said that she was was glad to see organizers centering women of color.
"As a white feminist, I’m really trying to stand up for people of color and show up and show that feminism should...and should always be intersectional."
The first women’s march was scheduled the day after President Trump’s inauguration in 2016. The 2016 marches were the largest single-day of protest in U.S. history.
