For the third year since the inauguration of President Donald Trump, women have marched in locations across the nation to call for equality. A renewed demand for ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment has been a central theme.

Included in this year's Rapid City march, held Saturday, Jan. 19, were three 16-year-olds born long after the ERA failed. SDPB's Victoria Wicks asks what inspired them to march in cold temps through snow to hold signs and chant.
