Empowering Women March in Downtown Las Vegas – VIDEO

Hundreds of people marched through downtown Las Vegas on Saturday as part of the Empowering Women March 2020.

The event coincided with the annual women’s marches that began in 2017 as a protest of President Donald Trump’s inauguration.

Many marchers wore pink hats or shirts, chanted and carried signs as the group snaked from Fremont Street up Ninth Street, then along East Ogden Avenue and finally down Las Vegas Boulevard to the Lloyd D. George Courthouse, where they rallied for about 90 minutes.

Las Vegas meeting scheduled for homeless ordinance – Video

Homelessness in downtown Las Vegas has reached a crisis level. City officials are urging those on the streets to accept city and nonprofit services. In particular, officials want homeless people to take shelter. Businesses are also opposed to loitering and public indecency outside establishments. A new plan would make it illegal to camp or sleep downtown and elsewhere in public if beds are open. The city says the proposed ordinance would keep homeless and the public safe. But opponents argue shelters are often full and the plan criminalizes homeless. A city council hearing is scheduled Nov. 6. The public is invited to attend.
