We had an uplifting celebration for International Women’s Day.

International Women’s Day 2026 participants met up at the Lexington Police Headquarters to make signs and record words of wisdom for future leaders. About 25 people processed to the 250th Arch, and then to the Lexington Women’s Liberty Monument.

Remarks at the monument were made by Gia Raythatha, member of the Girl Scout IWD 2026 Honor Guard, Meredith Bergmann, Stacey Fraser, Kamala Raj, and Jessie Steigerwald.
