Marching for Women’s Rights & Quality Education: Why Some People Shouldn’t March~ By Ariel Tan
On January 20th, 2018, people worldwide came together to peacefully protest one year after the first largest women’s march. I attended the Los Angeles March for women for the first time. It gave me more confidence in myself, my community, and my country. As a mixed teen growing up on the west coast, I’ve always been surrounded by open-minded people. But, systematic racism and stereotypes became clearer to me once I got older.

The fact that the EFA Act has passed through the House means that our voices are being heard and motivates me to keep sharing our message of education for all.
The worthy work of advocacy
I’ll never forget my first day of advocacy meetings on the Hill.
You can take your education anywhere you go
