Observation Report On Women's March

The Women’s Rights Movement made its first major sign of progress when the 20th Amendment of the Constitution was passed; allowing women the right to vote. This feat was only achieved because of the peaceful protests of these powerful women. And because of these women, an entire gender is now able to actively participate in the government that represents them. Without the free society of America and the people’s

The march consisted of all different kinds of people. There were blacks and whites, rich and poor, young and old, and Hollywood stars and normal everyday people.

Women have come a long way ever since the 19th Amendment was passed in 1920 and thereafter with the Equal Rights Amendment Act in 1972 to the U.S Constitution. After decades of struggling and protesting, the 19th Amendment was passed and ratified to grant women the right to vote. Fifty-two years later worth of revisions and persistency, the Equal Rights Amendment was ratified in which it declared that everyone had both Human and Civil rights in the States regardless of sex. Not only did these amendments have an immense impact on the lives of women and sequentially with the rest of the citizens of this nation, but on the people of today’s century. Women have done a tremendous job in proving society wrong about the roles women are

The article states that “more than 1 million people gathered in Washington and in cities around the country… to the inauguration of President Trump (Stein, Hendrix, and Hauslohner 1). These people marched in order to protest the treatment of women, minorities, and immigrants by Trump. They held signs and made their voices heard by people all over the world. This march can be compared to the march of Dr. King and his comrades to seek justice for the unfair treatment of people of color.

However, one of the most popular forms to share and demonstrate our opinions as citizens are marches and protests. Parades and marches were indeed a from the Progressives used to publicize and convince many about their efforts. Despite that, many of these parades, especially in Washington D.C. on March 3, 1913 faced violent responses that included in the assault of many women. This was not always the case. For example, a nonviolent mass direction action is the March on Washington on August of 1963. This march was part of the Civil Rights act movement. This march led from Washington monumental to the Lincoln Memorial and consisted of songs, chants and speeches of civil right leaders that fought for jobs and freedom. Some of the most notable speeches that came out of this march was Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I have a dream speech”, which is known to promote racial justice and equality. The previous examples, demonstrated marches and protests for social reforms, but not all marches are related social reforms. Some marches like the Anti- War march in 2003 that voices the opposition of the invasion of Iraq. More than 10 million people in over 600 cities joined these efforts to voice their discontent with the Bush Administration, but many felt and still feel ignored by the administration. In this case, no agreement or compromise could be reached. In our current society, the rise of racial unrest led to various marches such as the Anti- Trump and May Day marches. Marches and protests are a very popular way Americans and citizens from all over the country still use to voice their opinions. They are planned with the goal to lead to social reform or social change. However not all marches end up being nonviolent such as the March on Washington. In fact, many end up violently leading to the involvement of the police. Marches have always existed and will

Women’s rights have not always been the way they are now. They have changed majorly throughout time. During the 1900s and 1920s, women were not able to vote, have the same education, or be employed at the same rate men were. Many women throughout history have come together to participate in rallies, marches, and protests with the purpose of being able to gain the same rights as men.

Many groups of people throughout the history of the United States have fought to change for change and fairness for their groups. Women have been among the courageous groups that have forged paths to create better lives for themselves and future generations of women.

Most people think that the fight for women's equality stopped years ago when in reality it still remains a national issue. Legally it appears as though women have the same freedoms as men, for example the right to vote, freedom of speech, etc. But due to the fact that women still don't obtain equal pay or have nationwide paid maternity leave, it's still an ongoing fight. Fair and equal rights for women are still a large problem in the U.S. and we need to take action against these injustices.

As a woman, I am grateful to all the strong female activists that have paved the way that has allowed all United States female citizen’s the rights we have today.

The roles of women, and the views society have on them have changed dramatically throughout the past century due to the movements and events that have taken place in America’s history. The reason for the change corresponds directly to the Women’s Suffrage movement, the rise of feminism and the Women’s Rights Movement. The transition of women’s roles in the 20th century has encouraged them to fight for their rights but unfortunately the fight has not been finished. Even with successes, like the ratification of the 19th amendment, and various laws protecting women, they still lacking equal rights in America and it wont change with out the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). If the Equal Rights Amendment is passed women will have the same equality as men under the constitution, discrimination will cease to exist, and as a world leader, America cannot afford to see this issue last any

In Philadelphia, demonstrators and protester along with the Black lives Matter movement march together that Tuesday in the street the crowd planned to marched from North Philadelphia, Temple University and several miles to send a message, near the arena where the Democratic National Convention were held, and Hillary Clinton presidential nominee would have a chance to earn their votes.

For my civic engagement assignment, I attended the San Jose March for Science from San Jose city hall to the Plaza de Caesar Chavez. The March was in organized primarily in response to the Trump administration’s unfavorable views on science, especially towards environmental science, and was held in conjunction with hundreds of other marches attended by hundreds of thousands of people across the world. I’ve never been the most civically-minded person so I was not quite sure what to expect when attending, but I think that I gained a more personal understanding of the political and democratic aspect of environmental citizenship. I arrived at the march slightly after it was underway, a few blocks away from San

As I walk around during this time in 2008 at the location where I was born in, I see many things have changed over the years. Throughout my life I fought for women's rights and advocate the growth of women’s equal rights. For instance, I advocated for equality in marriages, and for women to have the rights of their own earnings. During my

March is Women's History Month! Shoutout to all the independent ladies who didn't need a man and who always kept their eyebrows on fleek. There are hundreds of tutorials on YouTube, but how can a girl choose the ideal method for them? It all depends on your face shape, thickness of your brows and the products you utilize.

In the article I'm an anti-abortion feminist. I'll walk at the Women’s March, whether organizers like it or not, Aimee Murphy expresses her true sentiment on having the right to march. She claims that women can be both pro-life and feminist and should be allowed to walk. According to Murphy the meaning of the march is the “women-led movement bringing together people of all genders, ages, races, culture, political affiliations and backgrounds”. Indicating that the organizers should not turn their backs on the New Wave Feminism, apologizing for the mistake for letting them participate in the first place. Murphy also reflects on the modern feminist that is pro-choice, identifies the meaning of feminism that is “we stand for equality, nondiscrimination
