- Description:
- Kathryn Michaelis was born in 1984 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and grew up in Greenwood, South Carolina. She earned a master's degree in library science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and works as a digital projects librarian. Michaelis currently lives with her husband and pets in Decatur, Georgia. 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, Kathryn Michaelis begins by talking about her own and her family's political views and political activities. She discusses her distressed reaction to the results of the 2016 presidential election and talks about why she and her husband decided to participate in the Atlanta March for Social Justice and Women on January 21, 2017. She discusses her experience at the march, her activities and feelings since the march ended, and the political climate in the United States. - Metadata URL:
