A peaceful gathering took place today in Carson City, as people gathered together to hold a International Women's Day rally.
Organizers say over 1,000 people came out at around noon for the event to advocate for women's rights and make their voices heard in front of the Nevada Legislative Building.
Lois Stokes, Lead Organizer with the group Bans Off Our Bodies, commented how the organizers aimed to make the event as inclusive as possible, saying, "We welcome all that want to be heard. Our voices count. Our representatives need to listen to what we want."
Local law enforcement was on scene to keep the peace in case any counter protests came together.
The gathering ended at 3:00 p.m., with a few people staying behind afterwards to help raise awareness to passers-by.
