Mercury News article: "San Jose Women’s March to focus on diversity, inclusiveness"
" 'We really want to make sure that we’re very inclusive and that we’re working on our deep diversity,' [march organizer Jenny] Bradanini said in an interview."
"As part of the larger national Women’s March network, Bradanini and other members say women’s rights and human rights are intrinsically linked and can only be upheld by fighting systemic racism and defending the rights of workers, people of color, immigrants and LGBTQ and disabled people."
"The San Jose Women’s March starts at 11 a.m. on Jan. 20 at San Jose City Hall; participants will march about a mile west to Arena Green East by the SAP Center. For more information, visit WomensMarchBayArea.org."
