Local MSP, Rachael Hamilton, has thrown her support behind PROCESSIONS, an event which will celebrate the centenary of women’s suffrage. It will see thousands of women and girls from across the UK walking together as part of a mass participatory artwork on Sunday 10th 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 free event, sign-up at processions.co.uk
Rachael Hamilton MSP said:
‘I was delighted to support the women and girls from my constituency who have already signed up to take part in PROCESSIONS’
‘I hope that many others will decide to join them on what promises to be an historic day’
‘We should never forget the resolve of the suffragettes and I look forward to playing my part in commemorating them in June’
