- Description:
- Amanda Hollowell was born in 1979 in Palm Springs, Calif. She currently lives in Savannah, Ga. She attended the University of California, Berkeley. Hollowell works full-time as an educator on organ donation and part-time for Georgia's WIN List, an organization that tries to elect progressive women in Georgia. She is the proud mother of a teenage son. 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, Amanda Hollowell discusses her experience organizing the Women's March in Savannah, Georgia on January 21, 2017. She talks about recruiting speakers for the march, interacting with law enforcement, dealing with other people who worked on organizing the march, and promoting the march in the media. Hollowell talks about other forms of political activism and advocacy in which she is and has been involved, including numerous political campaigns. She also describes her relationships and interactions with her son and her mother. Hollowell expresses her hopes for the future, including the hope for more Democrats and women to be elected to public office in Georgia. - Metadata URL:
