CLEVELAND, Ohio-Women's March Cleveland and other activist groups have announced speakers for the "Cleveland, Oh Make Billionaires Pay & Fight For Women's Rights Rally & March" set for Sat., Sept. 20, 2025, with a noon rally and 1 pm march from the steps of City Hall in downtown Cleveland. The event is part of a national day of action.
Speakers include elected officials and activists, including Cleveland Councilwoman Deborah Gray, activist and Ohio State School Board Member Delores Gray, Cuyahoga County Democratic Party Chairperson David Brock, Ohio Black Women's PAC President Elaine Gohlstin, Black Women's Army Head Mayosha Baybach Vales,... and more.
Organizers say the event is a rally and mass march for reproductive and Civil Rights and an effort to continue the fight for choice for women in Cleveland and Northeast Ohio, including Black women.
Women's March Cleveland activists Kathy Wray Coleman, Alysa Cooper Moskey, Sierra Mason and Alfred Porter Jr. of Black on Black Crime Inc. are also helping to organize the event, Coleman said, as well as the Cuyahoga Democratic Women's Caucus, a greater Cleveland group that works to get Democratic women into office.
In addition to reproductive and civil rights, the issues addressed at the rally and march will include the attacks by Washington, D.C. operatives against DEI, immigrants, public and higher education, federal workers, and a host of others, and the actions of D.C. billionaires and policy-makers in subordinating poor people and the underprivileged, organizers said.
Data show that since the attack on DEI and federal workers, the unemployment rate for Blacks in America has increased, and the Black community remains at risk.
Other activist groups supporting the event include Cuyahoga Democratic Women's Caucus, Black on Black Crime Inc., Black Man's Army, Black Women's Army, Carl Stokes Brigade, Refuse Fascism, and Rise Up For Abortion Rights CLE.
