- Description:
- Deidre Howell was born in 1967 in Georgia. Her family had a farm and was conservative. She has worked in public health as a nurse and administrator. She is politically liberal. 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, Deidre Howell discusses her conservative family background. She explains how she became more liberal. She also discusses her public health work and education. While some of her family does not agree with her politics, that has not stopped Howell from publicly speaking about her beliefs. She spoke at a 2018 political rally in Clayton, Georgia. - Metadata URL:
