Women’s March on Washington organizers made their first large-scale attempt Wednesday to build on the momentum of their January march, calling on women across the country to skip work and take to the streets to resist the policies of the new presidential administration.
“Do without Starbucks for a day, pack your own peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch, and just don’t shop,” O’Neill said. “Women are the primary consumer spenders in this country.”
“I think what is really going on is women in this country are extremely energized,” O’Neill said. “Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by 3 million, and part of the reason she won is she ran a proudly feminist and inclusive campaign.”
The National Organization for Women has adapted with the times.
The president of National Organization for Women, Terry O’Neill, says it’s time for the Boy Scouts of America to start including girls.
