3:30 NATS OF SINGING

DIFFERENT --
FOR THE BOISE WOMEN'S

ROE-V-WADE RULING... BUT THERE WASN'T MUCH
TALK
TALK ABOUT ABORTION... 2:28 THIS EVENT IS A CELEBRATION FO THE
YEAR WE FOUGHT
THROUGH TOGETHER 2:32
THIS YEAR'S WOMENS

STREAMED ON FACEBOOK,
INSTAGRAM AND

BY YOUNG WOMAN
LEADERS.

WANT TO TAKE CONTROL
OF THEIR FUTURE, NOT
WAIT FOR THINGS TO
HAPPEN
TO KEEP THE FIGHT ALIVE
FOR WOMEN'S EQUALITY
1:00 I CAME OF AGE IN AN
ERA WITH THE HIGHEST
NUMBER OF MISSING AND
MURDERED INDIGENOUS
WOMEN IN MODERN
HISTORY
TO INSPIRE ONE ANOTHER
TO BE PART OF AN
EVOLVING SOCIETY
2:03 I ALSO CAME OF AGE
IN AN ERA WHERE WE
HAVE THE FIRST FEMALE
VICE PRESIDENT, WHERE
NEIGHBORS ARE HELPING
NEIGHBORS GET
THROUGH THIS PANDEMIC
AND OUR COMMUNITY IS
STRONG
KERI STENECK IS ONE OF
THE WOMENS MARCH
ORGANIZERS.. SHE SAID
THIS YEAR THE STAGE WAS
GIVEN TO THE NEXT
GENERATION OF FEMALE
ADVOCATES
3:30 WE WORK SO HARD
IN OUR CAREERS AS
WOMEN TO GET TO A
PLACE AT THE TABLE AND
WE DON'T OFTEN TAKE
THIS AND SAY OKAY WHAT
CAN
CAN I
CAN I DO
CAN I DO WITH THIS, CAN I CREATE ANOTHER SEAT? 3:41 CAN I MENTOR
SOMEONE ELSE? AND
THAT IS SOMETHING THAT
HISTORICALLY WE HAVE
BEEN LACKING UHM I
THINK IN WOMENS
ACTIVISM 3:49
STENECK AND HERRING
SAY THEIR EVENTS WERE
NOT INTENDED TO
REACTIONS TO ONE
ANOTHER
EVEN IF YOU DONT AGREE
THE FACT THAT PEOPLE
STILL HAVE THE RIGHT
AND MARCH FOR WHAT
THEY BELIEVE IN, THEY
DESERVE OUR RESPECT
JUST AS MUCH AND WE
DESERVE THEIRS 6:07
I THINK ONE OF THE
BEAUTIES OF AMERICAN
DEMOCRACY IS THAT YOU
CAN HAVE TWO WELL
ATTENDED RALLYS WITH
MAYBE TWO COMPLETELY
OPPOSITE OPPSING
