Women's Wave January 18, 2020
 
With the theme `getting the vote out,' the 2020 women's march took over the steps of the RI State House to send key messages about voter rights, participating in the census and fair redistricting. Jane Koster, President of the League of Women Voters of R.I., was one of the speakers, and she told the crowd: "...The League of Women Voters is even more relevant today than it has ever been before. We encourage informed and active participation in government, and work to increase understanding of major public policy issues and influence public policy through education and advocacy." 
 
She Continued: "This year our focus will be on People Powered Fair Maps, an undertaking aimed to promote the redistricting process that will put power in the hands of the people. We'll work toward fair representative districts. We'll engage the people of Rhode Island with forums, panel discussions and information on fair maps, and encourage the people of RI to participate in this political process."
