Organizers of the Women’s March for Humanity wrote online that their Oct. 5 event was an “amazing success” with approximately 300 people rallying at Centennial Place and walking from downtown Sequim to Fifth Avenue and back.

Participants held various signs promoting reproductive rights, campaigns such as Vice-President Kamala Harris for president, and more. They chanted “We’re not going back” while walking and later listened to speakers, including Sen. Emily Randall (D-Bremerton) who is running for congressman Derek Kilmer’s seat in the Nov. 5 General Election.

The two women said the General Election is important and they feel Democratic candidates will support women’s rights. Their sign is a reference to Republican Vice-President candidate JD Vance’s 2021 comments about Democrats being run by “childless cat ladies.”
