Throughout human history, the best way to get the attention of the authorities in charge has always been when people take their own power and get out in the streets. It is incredible that, in this modern democratic country, women still don’t have an amendment for equal rights, for instance, and the disparities in pay, benefits and opportunities for men and women is still shocking. Many voters of all genders stopped waiting for change and enacted it themselves in the 2018 midterm elections, when 103 women were elected to the congressional boys’ club. This Saturday, The Women’s March Foundation presents the fourth-annual Women’s March L.A. “to demand that the next president of the United States have a clear agenda to advance women’s rights.”

Marchers gather at Pershing Square, 532 S. Olive St., before the march begins on Saturday, Jan. 18, at 10 a.m. The march moves to L.A. City Hall, 200 N. Spring St., downtown, for the rest of the program, 11 a.m.-2 p.m.; https://www.womensmarchfoundation.org/
