- Description:
- Jessie Hayden was born in 1965 in Oxford, Mississippi. She moved to South Carolina soon after being born, and later moved to Atlanta. She is an English as a Second Language teacher and works primarily with immigrant populations. The Atlanta March for Social Justice and Women was Hayden's first 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 this interview, Jessie Hayden discusses her family's political background. She then discusses her own career and priority political issues. She discusses her expectations for the march and the actual day of the march. She also discusses her most significant moments at the march, her hopes for after the march, and strategies/advice for future marchers/protesters. - Metadata URL:
