- Description:
- Chris DeVinney is a former environment lobbyist. She was raised in South Carolina and Georgia. DeVinney is currently a writer and stay at home parent. She has been involved in politics since high school. She describes herself as socially liberal, while potentially fiscally conservative. She marched in the Atlanta, Georgia Women's March. 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 her interview, DeVinney discusses her political past (early activism and becoming a lobbyist). She expresses that her central political issue is reproductive rights. She describes the Atlanta Women's March. She also discusses the need for women in politics, and the increase in women running for office. - Metadata URL:
