What's up in Lansing: Women's March and more

Good day and happy weekend.

Women and allies from all over Michigan symbolically “march” for equality and inclusion Saturday at the Capitol. The Women’s March on Lansing describes itself as “a peaceful demonstration in opposition to the wave of hate crimes and violence and threats of official discrimination that have proliferated following the election.” The rally includes speakers like former Michigan Rep. Lisa Brown, Ingham County Clerk Barb Byrum and gubernatorial candidate Gretchen Whitmer, as well as a performance by the Sistrum’s Women’s choir. 1-3 p.m. Michigan State Capitol, 100 N. Capitol Ave., Lansing. marchonlansing.org.
