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, Carol and Joel Greenberg discuss their histories with activism. Carol describes the development of her feminist consciousness in the 1970s, when she held a job where it became apparent to her that women were not treated as equals in the workplace. Carol and Joel talk about the 2016 presidential election and describe how it motivated them to attend the Women's March on Washington on January 21, 2017. They discuss their dismay at the activities of the Trump administration since the election, and they describe their experiences at the Women's March. The discuss the role of the media in politics and offer advice to people who are considering attending a large march like the Women's March. - Metadata URL:
