About five dozen people rallied at Hartford’s State House Square on Saturday afternoon before marching to the Connecticut State Capitol. Participants carried signs promoting love, justice, animal welfare, and environmentalism. The peaceful march and rally did not result in any arrests.
A previous Equality March took place in November 2016, a few weeks after the presidential election.

Nice to see you today. Thanks for the wonderful photo’s of the demo.
I would like to share a quote from Gloria Martin, a Revolutionary Feminist Socialist who worked with Radical Women and Freedom Socialist Party. Gloria said, “We have to fight for survival issues–better pay, benefits, abortion rights, child care. But then we have to go further. We have to change the system, because as long as the system is the same, we’ll be fighting all our lives for the same thing….When people have had enough, revolution can happen suddenly.”
A very important idea is contained within, “We have to change the system, because as long as the system is the same, we’ll be fighting all our lives for the same thing.”
