HOUGHTON -- The community is invited to join the Fourth Annual Women’s March on the Portage Lake Lift Bridge at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 18. Marchers will gather at Bridgeview Park and walk up to the east side of the Bridge. RiseUP, the League of Women Voters, and the Houghton County Democrats are participating. Signs and pink pussy hats are welcome.

The Copper Country joins in solidarity with women across the UP, the state, the country, in DC, and the world in support of issues that impact women’s lives -- including equality, reproductive rights, immigration, the climate crisis, and a future that fulfills the promise of this country. Each woman has her own reasons to march.
