Gloria Steinems Partnership With The Womens March Is A Match Made In Feminist Heaven
Singer and activist Harry Belafonte will also co-chair the rally in Washington.
Feminist icon Gloria Steinem will serve as honorary co-chair of the Women’s March on Washington, she announced Wednesday on Instagram.
The march to promote women’s rights, challenge racism and encourage inclusivity will take place in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 21, the day after President-elect Donald Trump is sworn into office.
The 82-year-old activist and writer will be co-chairing the event with civil rights activist and singer Harry Belafonte, organizers announced. Steinem said she was proud to participate in a statement on Wednesday:
I am proud to be one of thousands who will come to Washington to make clear that we will keep working for a democracy in which we are linked as human beings, not ranked by race or gender or class or any other label.
