Podcast: Women’s March on Washington (Int – High Int)
“This is an outpouring of energy and true democracy like I have never seen in my very long life. It is wide in age. It is deep in diversity. And remember, the constitution does not begin with ‘I, the president.’ It begins with ‘We, the people.'”
—Gloria Steinem, American feminist and political activist
