Monday’s talk about the Women’s March was very interesting. There were many different opinions about the importance of the march and what it accomplished. This year’s march was the largest in the history of the Women’s March. So many different movements came together to stand up for their various causes. Although I did not attend the Women’s March, what I gathered from others at the table was that there was a sense of unity and strength during the March. Personally, I sometimes feel that marches do not accomplish much because people come and rally and then just go home and do nothing. It seems more like an opportunity to post a hastag photo on social media rather than a call to action. One thing that kept coming up at the table talk was the fact that since there are so many different groups and movements and ideas, it seems like even in unity, there is still some division. According to one of the GRFs, there were some Trump supporters at the women’s march and that puzzled some at the table. However, is it right to exclude conservative women because of their views of what it means to be a “woman?” How do we bridge the gap between conservative women and more liberal women or do we just exsist in opposition? Many of these questions came up during the table talk and ultimately there are some questions which are hard to answer. One thing that we do agree on is for people to stay active. Call your state’s representative, petition, boycott, and educate other people on what is happening and keep having conversations until there is change in legislature. At the end of the day, we can march to Timbucktu but if that’s where the action ends, nothing will change much.
