People's March on Peoria

We are proud of our inclusive community that has had in influx of queer people and minorities in the past five years. However, these people shouldn't have to flee their homes to find safety. We will not back down to those threatening our rights, freedoms, and futures. Please join us as we stand tall together and march for our civil rights, reproductive rights, and body autonomy. 

Grab a friend and join us in a march for progress, followed by motivational speeches from local leaders. We will march rain/snow or shine! Bring your jackets, posters, and marching shoes!!!

Please RSVP to stay up-to-date as the March approaches. We’re looking forward to marching by your side, WITH YOU and FOR YOU!
