COEUR d’ALENE — The third annual Kootenai County Women's March is planned for Saturday at 11 a.m.
“Women in this community are fired up about the impending overturn of Roe v. Wade,” Laura Tenneson told the Press Monday.
Tenneson said participants will gather at the corner of 19th Street and Sherman Avenue. After a brief address, the group will march up Sherman Avenue toward McEuen Park.
The march is “a direct response to the leaked opinion from the Supreme Court indicating that Roe v. Wade will be overturned,” she said.
There are no speakers planned for the event, just a peaceful march, Tenneson said.
The event was announced Friday and the public response on social media has been “big,” Tenneson said. The event coincides with the national women’s march.
