Body
01. Discuss Service Learning Experience
a. The Women’s March, January 26th, 2019. The Women’s March was the perfect
opportunity to voice the concerns women are facing due to government interference. I
actively participated in the rally, supported local vendors, listened to speeches by women
sharing their experiences, made signs, signed petitions, collected testimonies from
various women explaining their signs.
b. Rock The Vote’s training camp, February 16th, 2019. Rock The Vote (A branch of the
Women’s March) focused more on the legal issues faced by women, specifically voter
rights and laws. I interacted with panels to discuss voter ID laws, especially how black
men and women have been disproportionately affected. Met with North Carolina
Representative Chaz Beasley to discuss sexual stigma and accessible health care for
women.
02. Discuss the product.
a. Created a documentary featuring various women sharing their opinions and testimonies
of their experiences with the law. Discuss how assembling and editing all that worked.
Discuss viewing party, feedback. Why I felt a documentary would be best. Kavanaugh
protest.
