The first event is a 10 a.m. Saturday march and rally scheduled to take place at UN Plaza in San Francisco.
The second event, called "Bring Back Our Girls," will be held 6:30 p.m. Monday evening at Lytton Plaza in Palo Alto.
"I am very, very grateful to everybody who has taken time, even if it is just to hold a sign that says ‘Bring Back Our Girls,'", said Stevina Evuleocha of Dublin who moved from Nigeria as a grad student.
Evuleocha, now a professor at CSU East Bay, told KTVU she has talked about the terrorists kidnappings with family members back home who describe a nervous atmosphere in Nigeria.
"I have four girls. So, everyday that I go to sleep I wonder how those moms and dads sleep," explained Evuleocha.
In addition to planned rallies and marches, money is also being sent to Nigeria in the hopes of aiding the safe return of the girls.
"Obviously, we're outraged and deeply concerned about what's been happening," said Caroline Kouassiaman with Global Fund for Women.
Kouassiaman sais women's groups in Nigerian have been demanding action from the government since the beginning of this crisis. Those same groups have helped fan the growing social-media campaign that has gone global.
Global Fund for Women donated money to help women's groups in Nigeria continue that effort.
"The very logistics of mobilizing. Being able to get women from one place to another. Being able to print t-shirts and print fliers," said Kouassiaman.
More than three weeks later, momentum is building in the effort to find the kidnapped girls. But the fear of many governments is that the girls have been separated making recovery all the more difficult.
