The march will begin at the Center for Civil and Human Rights and will conclude at the Georgia State Capitol.While an independent movement, the Atlanta March for Social Justice & Women event is officially recognized by the Women’s March on Washington D.C. to which tens of thousands of Americans have pledged their support.
