I taped the WORD march, and bit about the go topless march (currently
editing) .
1pm, Women Organized to Resist and Defend (WORD) march in front of
"News Corp" at 48th St. taped two of the rally speakers one of which
spoke out against New Corp and the media's portrayal of women in the
media (speakers: ?, and ?).
The march headed to Times Square for a speakout against "Free Abortion
Alternatives" and for free choice, and woman reproductive rights
(speaker: jennifer zaldana, party for socialism and liberation, and
Woman organized to resist and defend)
there was one quick interview/question with virginia cato.
March walked two blocks down to the military recruitment station and
NYPD times square station to speakout against the military (rape in
the military, displacement of families affected by war; speaker
Cassandra Regan for ANSWER coalition) and against the NYPD (domestic
violence, rape, stop and frisk; speaker: Sasha Murphy for party for
socialism and liberation)
Left march to bryant park. quick several second sense of the crowd,
many (male) photographers of topless women. quick interview with
"cassio" on today's demo, and also a conversation between barbara
nehman and jacqueline who were dismayed about today's topless
demonstration because they felt it was more of a spectacle and less
about women's rights to own their body, and society's continued
portray of women as sexual objects.
I also emailed WORD for info on what other stops they made on the
march.
how many minutes each do you want to allot for each segment? the WORD
march should be a few min as it is a meatier story, and the other one
about topless rights with a conversation btwn the two radical women
should be 1-2 min tops.
