The ideas were widespread from
country to country... but
generally rang the
same tune of ending sexual
harrasment and in the U-S
getting President Trump to
hear their voice. Tonight -
people got together for a
Youngstown City Club panel to
discuss how to move forward with
these issues locally.

CRYSHANNA JACKSON LEFTWICH,
PANELIST: I FELT THAT IT WAS
IMPORTANT TO LET MY VOICE BE
HEARD. SOMETIMES
WHEN YOUR VOICE IS NOT HEARD AT

TO LIT YOUR DISSAPOINTMENT.

Just a few days after returning
to Youngstown from walking in
the
Women's March, three panelists
brought their ideas to the floor
on how to move
FORWARD with womens rights.
CARLA BALDWIN: TO SEE THE WOMEN
MOVE ACROSS THE
COUNTRY IN SUCH A GRAND FASHION
LEFT A GREAT IMPRESSION THAT
WE ARE POWERFUL. MOLLY REED WKBN
Judge Carla Baldwin moderated
the panel for the nearly 100
people who showed up.
NATALIE FRATTAROLI, ATTENDEE:
ESPECIALLY IN
TODAY'S CLIMATE AND WITH
EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON I
FEEL THAT IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO
STAND UP FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE
IN AND TO SUPPORT THINGS LIKE
THIS ESPEICALLY THAT'S
GOING ON IN THE COMMUNITY.
CARLA BALDWIN: I WANT THEM TO
THINK ABOUT WHAT THEY CAN DO,
WHATEVER THAT IS WHETHER IT'S
JOIN IN A LOCAL MARCH OR WRITE
YOUR
LOCAL LEGISLATOR. MOLLY REED

While the Women's Marches were
widespread in ideas, tonight was
about
education. Looking at the
current state of womens rights
and what the future might look
like.
CARLA BALDWIN: LET'S BECOME MORE
EDUCATED AND AWARE OF
WHAT'S GOING ON. SO WHEN YOU SEE
THESE STORIES ON THE NEWS, WE
START TO DO A LITTLE BIT OF
HIGHER LEVEL THINKING AND
THINKING OF THE LARGER IMPACT ON
OUR LOCAL SOCIETY HERE.
