Women's March to the Polls Kicks Off in Chicago

[Gidney N Cloyd]

A rally before the march included speakers and live music. Candidates and campaign representatives also attended.

Speakers at the rally addressed the importance of voting, income inequality, gun violence, women's rights and education affordability. A student from Marjorie Stoneman-Douglas High School, the site of a deadly mass shooting in February, also spoke.

At one point during the rally, a group of women dressed as Handmaids from Margret Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale" gathered on stage as a speaker discussed abortion rights.

Videos from Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren were also played for rally attendees.

March organizers plan to begin the march to Federal Plaza at 12:30 p.m. and reach the Board of Elections early voting site.
