The group Viva La Femme held the event at Cherokee Park, which included art and connecting with one another. 

The group wanted to bring people together to educate and inspire one another about the women's movement both here in Louisville and nationwide.

Thousands of mostly young women in masks rallied in the nation’s capital and other U.S. cities, exhorting voters to oppose President Donald Trump and his fellow Republican candidates in the Nov. 3 elections. 

The latest of rallies that began with a massive women's march the day after Trump’s inauguration in January 2017 was playing out during the coronavirus pandemic, and demonstrators were asked to wear face coverings and practice social distancing.
