Kenneth Gibson MSP is supporting thousands of women and girls across the UK who will walk together as part of a mass participatory artwork to celebrate the centenary of women’s suffrage on Sunday 10 June. To mark this historic moment, they will wear either green, white or violet scarves - the colours of the suffrage movement - appearing as a flowing river of colour as they walk through the city streets.
PROCESSIONS takes place in the four UK political capitals (Edinburgh, Belfast, Cardiff and London) in the afternoon on Sunday 10 June. To take part in this event, sign-up at: processions.co.uk
Commenting Kenneth said:
“I am delighted to support the women and girls from Cunninghame North and across Scotland who have already signed up to take part in PROCESSIONS to mark this historic anniversary when women first got the vote. I hope that many more will join them on Sunday 10 June to celebrate how much has been achieved for women, as well as to recognise how far there is still to go. I have no doubt that there will be a great atmosphere.”
