One marcher's story.
My daughter is three, and this will be her fourth Women's March. In fact, her entire existence knows the third Saturday of January as the day masses of people flood the streets in the name of women and smashing the patriarchy. ADVERTISEMENT Her first Women's March, the inaugural march of 2017 , she attended in the form of a battery-operated Medlea breast pump. She made appearances on the floor of many a D.C. restaurant bathroom floor, because, you know, patriarchy.
We need signs of hope, and Skyler was June Jordan's saying epitomized: children are the way the world begins again and again. She was a tangible representation of change, of the potential for us to course-correct, to begin again. And the world was here for it. As a mother who intentionally involves my children in activism, I often wonder what impact that's having on them. One of my goals is that they understand that activism isn't a one time march you check off, but rather it's a lifestyle of advocating, donating money, showing up, listening, and lifting.
I want them to know that marching for women means marching for immigrants, for trans rights, for economic justice, for prison reform, gun laws, black lives matter, and the climate.
