suffrage march

Ballot rights protest

A suffrage march is an organized procession advocating for voting rights, historically associated with the women's suffrage movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Suffragists marched through city streets to demand the vote, often facing hostility and arrest.

The 1913 suffrage march in Washington drew thousands of women from across the country.

The term now applies to any march demanding electoral rights for disenfranchised groups.
