Name of Organization: Women’s March
Person (people) with whom I met and their job titles:
Type of Fieldwork: Direct Action
What I did:
We went to the women’s march to protest.
What I learned:
I learned that there are so many different people fighting for the same thing. I also learned that veryone there was there to fight for their rights, whether it was race, gender, LGBTQ, or gun violence. It was super inspiring to see everybody there.
What I learned about Social Justice “work” and/or Civil and Human rights “work” from this fieldwork:
I learned that in order for there to be change, we must fight. The women’s march is so powerful because it is protesting everything. I felt so inspired just being there and seeing everyone chanting and raising signs. I was so happy to be a part of it and protest a huge problem in our country today.
