Redeemer community members march in Washington D.C. at the "Women's March on Washington."

On January 21st, Alyssa Schwitzer and Kent Goodroad from the Redeemer music team along with their partners/Redeemer community members, Elizabeth Hanson and Irene Fernando, marched in Washington D.C. in solidarity with the "Women's March On Washington." ​We joined close to 1,000,000 other marchers seeking affordable heath care, reproductive rights, equal pay for equal work regardless of gender identity or race, racial justice, safe spaces for immigrants and refugees, full inclusion for members of the LGBTQI+ community, among other issues.  It was invigorating to see so many people galvanized towards creating a more just and equitable world.  We were so excited to see so many other marches happening in the U.S. and around the world, including the march in St. Paul.  For many participants and observers, the march was a starting point.  Our hope is that we will continue this work in our daily lives, and show up for communities striving for equality. Thanks to everyone who continues to stand up for justice everyday!
