Urijah, 3, attends an International Women’s Day event where she played with a life-size version of the game Candyland.

Advocacy groups organized the women’s day rally on Monday to call on Congress to pass the Raise the Wage Act, which would raise the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour by 2025. The groups also called for $40 billion in child care funding in the COVID-19 relief bill and posted signs that read “health care for all” and “cancel evictions.”
