In honor of International Women’s Day on Sunday, hundreds of protesters caravanned nearly 50 miles from Albuquerque to Jeffrey Epstein’s former Zorro Ranch, demanding justice and accountability for survivors of gender-based and sexual violence. The very next day, the protesters got a partial answer when investigators entered the property.
Protesters built a memorial during a rally outside the former Zorro Ranch on Sunday, International Women's Day. Sky Roberts—brother of Virginia Giuffre, who died last year, and had accused Epstein and other prominent men of sexual abuse that occured at the ranch—lays his own offering for his sister on the memorial.
