KALAMAZOO, Mich. (WOOD) — Hundreds of people filled Bronson Park for the women’s march that filled the streets of downtown Kalamazoo Sunday.
Some people made the trip as far south as Northwest Indiana to take part in the march just weeks from the election.
Through music, signs and chants, demonstrators called for support of gun control legislation and reproductive health care.
“We are talking about not going back to archaic laws we need to protect women and children,” said organizer Michelle Zukowski-Serlin.
Organizers said the march was not only meant to energize a voter base but also to express the issues of top concern for some women voters.

“A lot of times people think especially women are meek and mild and we don’t speak up. But today’s that day we want to bring everybody to show that we are more than meek and mild or cat woman. we are ready to fight,” said Shardae Chambers and other organizer.
