- Description:
- Carmen Evans was born in 1982 in Palmetto, Fla. She currently lives in Savannah, Ga. with her husband and son and works as an architect. 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, Carmen Evans talks about participating in the Women's March in Savannah, Ga. on January 21, 2017. She describes the two groups that organized rallies and marches and talks about them eventually coming together. She talks about her experiences during the march and her feelings and activities since it happened. She discusses her evolving relationship with social media, her hopes and fears for the future, and her feelings about the Women's March on Washington and Pantsuit Nation organizations. - Metadata URL:
