- Description:
- Emily Halevy is National Accounts Manager at Crawford Media Services, a media management house. In this role, she assists clients with a vast array of services including media migration, data storage, asset management, and metadata tagging. Prior to joining the Crawford team, Emily was an Emmy-nominated Producer at Connect with Kids, an integrated content company, focusing on children's healthcare, teen issues and character and drug curricula. When Emily is not working with clients, she is busy raising her two children and serving as Director of Stewardship on The Museum School Foundation Board. On January 21, 2017, millions of people worldwide took part in marches to protest the inauguration of Donald Trump as the President of the United States. The first protest, which took place in Washington, D.C., was known as the Women's March on Washington and was intended as a response to anti-woman rhetoric and beliefs that were espoused during Trump's campaign. While women's and reproductive rights were at the forefront of marchers' concerns, many also protested the racist, anti-immigrant, anti-science, and other controversial sentiments expressed by the incoming Trump administration.
In this interview, Emily Halevy talks about her experience organizing a busload of women from the Atlanta area to attend the Women's March on Washington on January 21, 2017. She discusses the powerfully positive experience she had at the march, and how it energized her to get more involved in political activism at the local and state levels. She describes the positive effect that her and her husband's newfound activism has had on her family. Halevy discusses feminism, how her own feminist beliefs influence her political views, and her fervent hope that the United States will elect a female president. She also talks about her own plan to eventually run for political office. - Metadata URL:
