Utah Women 20/20: The Women's Wave On Thursday's Access Utah

Women's March

Here’s what organizers of the national Women’s March are saying: “The 2017 Women’s March inspired hundreds of women to run, millions more to vote, and dozens to win elected office. The 2019 Women’s March marks two years of resistance to the Trump presidency, two years of training new activists, and two years of building power. And this time, we're coming back with an agenda. … The #WomensWave is coming.”

 

Our guests today include speakers at the Logan Utah Women's Wave: Lex Scott with Black Lives Matter Utah and the United Front, healthcare advocate and former Utah House candidate Karina Andelin Brown, student Devon Isaacs with the American Society of Indian Psychologists, and USU sociology professor Christy Glass.

 

 

 

The Logan march will be held at the Cache County Courthouse on Saturday, November 19th at 12PM. More information can be found here.

 

Support for Utah Women 20/20 is provided in part by our members and the Utah Women’s Giving Circle, a grassroots community with everyday philanthropists raising the questions and raising the funds to empower Utah women and girls. Information available here.

And Utah State University’s Center for Women and Gender, providing a professional and social climate to enhance opportunities through learning, discovery, and engagement. Information available here.
