The National Women’s Marches linked together violation of the human rights and privatization issues

The National Women’s Marches on January 21 linked together “discrimination, hate, anti-environment, and disregard for women’s rights” in the new Donald Trump presidency and privatization issues in education, health care and public services. In Montana, Women’s March on Montana organizer and Missoula resident Rebecca Weston said “from white supremacy, to the destruction of public lands, to billionaire oil executives, to the threat of Muslim registry laws, to the gutting of reproductive health care, to the privatization of public education, to the use of torture and on and on and on … the march has become somewhat of a net to catch the anger that was unfolding and building, (…) After the election, there was a level of isolation and despair. I’m a therapist and I could literally diagnose many of my clients with election related Acute Stress Disorder. In response, we could either go numb and paralyzed or we could mobilize and fight back.”
