Early this year, the city of Ottawa came together in solidarity to march for the rights of all minorities for the second time. The Women’s March Ottawa drew in thousands of people, even more than the previous year. Yet, behind this huge movement is the four women organizers. This is the story of how they came together, creating a sisterhood and an experience that has changed their lives.
