overpass(File photo)The North East Women’s Health Alliance is encouraging local residents to join them on the overpass heading into West Ferris at noon today (Friday).

It’s their fourth annual “Join Me On The Bridge” event.

The event is being held as a part of International Women’s Week, celebrating women by building a bridge of peace.

Officials say the global movement is undertaken in cities around the world and shows that women can build bridges of peace and hope for the future.

A drumming circle and opening ceremonies go at 11:15 am at Holy Name of Jesus Church, before they head to the overpass.
