- Description:
- Gabriela McNicoll was born in 1977 in São Paulo, Brazil and grew up primarily in Atlanta, Ga. She is one of the many women who felt compelled to protest against the election of Donald Trump and took action as part of the Women's March in Washington, D.C. McNicoll is currently a master's student in Georgia State University's Film, Video & Digital Imaging program as well as a data administrator in the university's College of Education. 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, Gabriela McNicoll provides an overview of her family's national and political history as well as their influence on her own political values. She then describes her feelings of confusion and betrayal after the election of Donald Trump and how she felt spurred to action to join the Women's March in Washington, D.C. in January 2017. McNicoll offers an extensive recounting of her experience of the Women's March, her journey to and from the march by bus, and the response of her immediate family when she returned. Finally, she concludes by offering encouragement and advice for future protesters as well as her hopes and fears for the future of the country. - Metadata URL:
