Two BYU students of opposing political views make sense of the Women’s March
From the streets of New York to the roads of Los Angeles and everywhere in between, over 3 million people marched in what has become known as the biggest one-day demonstration in the history of the United States. The Women's March on Washington was held on Jan. 21, and other marches around the country were held on the same day or during the next week.
As seen on social media and television, people have not been shy about sharing their sentiments on the subject.
Two young women attending BYU who have dissimilar political views discussed their personal opinions on the Women’s March. Public relations junior Sarah Matheson and political science junior Rachel Finlayson found they shared more commonality with each other than not.
Listen to their active yet respectful discussion:
Thousands of people attend a women's march and rally at the Capitol in Salt Lake City. The demonstrators in Salt Lake City hiked a steep hill in heavy snow and wind before pouring into the capitol, packing its three main floors, hallways and staircases amid speeches and chants from activists and a few Democratic lawmakers.
