We organized this march with women all over the nation to bring awareness to the worsening rhetoric about women. We hear disrespectful comments about women not being able to make decisions about their own bodies or not being able to serve on the front lines.
Don't we realize that women, for the most part, already run America's households, raise America's kids, teach America's children and manage most of America's money?
In two days after our march, we feel that the new administration will try to "Make Women Property Again". Here in southern Utah, and especially Washington County, we are growing as fast or faster than the Wasatch Front in population and housing. Look at our leaders in these two regions. The Mayors and Councilpersons are mostly women. Michelle Randall, Nanette Billings and Donia Jessop are great examples in St George, Hurricane and Hilldale. Wonderful leaders like Carol Hollowell of Switchpoint are changing the way we serve our communities including the poor and the homeless.
We have work to do in Utah. We have the biggest gap in women's pay and the lowest per pupil school funding and the most unaffordable housing.
We need to respect women. Most of America (62%) does favor restoring Roe v Wade. We are just sending a message to those who would rather live in the past. This is 2025 and we believe ALL people have the same rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
We, like most Americans, love our country and want our economy and our communities to thrive. We just believe women are our hope for this possible future.
