CUPE

Amateur video, shot by a CUPE member/participant in the march, shows 50,000 marchers in Ottawa at Women's March on 15 October 2000, marching through downtown Ottawa, gathering on Parliament Hill. There are glimpses of Judy Darcy, CUPE President. The goal of the march is to lobby the Canadian government for change for women and children across Canada; to eliminate poverty and promote human rights, non-violence and medicare. One slogan is "Up with Women's Wages." A group of Canadian women then travels to New York City for a March on 17 October 2000. Women march through the streets, demonstrating, dancing, singing and chanting. There is multi-national and multi-ethnic representation, including First Nations women.
