Union Square pulsed today as 5,000 joined the Women’s History Month March. From teens to seniors, marchers waved signs—‘Equal Pay Now’—under 50°F skies; X posts hit 10,000. A Brooklyn poet’s speech on wage gaps drew cheers; 500 clapped loud. Free buttons at 14th Street—1,000 gone—sparked talks. NYC’s fight—women’s rights roar.
Organizer Lena Cruz, 44, led 20 groups; Harlem’s drummers set pace. Data shows NY women earn 89 cents per dollar—gap’s real; crowd chanted stats. A Queens councilmember vowed pay equity bills—hope stirred. New LED banners lit march—eco-smart. Union Square’s vibe—NYC’s justice heart.
It’s not perfect—cold slowed some; coats bulky. Sidewalks jammed—strollers stuck at 17th Street. Still, 5K strong, 2 miles—march’s a hit. Post-rally, cafés buzzed—feminist talk flowed. Annual push—NYC stands tall.
Cruz’s 44—rights hero? Poet’s 25—voice rises. NYC marched; square glowed. Women’s Month—power on.
