Women united march will take place in Charlotte tomorrow at the first ward park around 12:15 the theme this year is "Use your power"

Use YOUR power…turn your activism into action…by connecting with our wide variety of community partners, organizations doing good and important work right here in Charlotte. Charlotte Women’s Movement and National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc.–Queen City Metropolitan Chapter encourage you to band together to get more done and create the changes we seek!

Crowds will pack into Charlotte's First Ward Park Saturday for the Women United March, the third such march since the inauguration of President Donald Trump in 2017. This year's event was billed as more diverse and less partisan than in past years.

For some attendees, Saturday marked their third time participating in Charlotte's annual march. For others like Anna Marachio, a Charlotte Catholic sophomore, it was their first time.

"I think our generation has really learned from the past what problems have come up in the past with sex and gender and everything," she said. "We really want to stand up for them and our future."

Marches were also held Saturday in Raleigh and Wilmington. Other cities in North Carolina, including Winston-Salem and Asheville, held marches last weekend.
