- Description:
- Lori Jones was born in Atlanta, Ga. in 1978. She was one of the thousands of women who participated in the Women's March in Washington, D.C. in protest of the election of Donald J. Trump. She currently lives in Tucker, Ga. and works as immigration employment specialist at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
In this interview, Lori Jones begins by providing an overview of her family and political background. She then discusses her motivations for joining the Women's March in Washington, D.C. as well as her preparations for and initial reactions to the march. Jones continues by describing the mood of the crowd, her own awe at the march, and her experiences participating in the rally. She then provides her perspective on her main cause -- immigration and immigration reform -- before concluding with advice for future marchers. - Metadata URL:
