Sam Goldman interviews student organizers of recent walk-outs in Florida against the new law excluding LGBTQ people from primary school curricula. Then, voices from the International Women's Day march for abortion on demand and without apology including: Michelle Xai, Merle Hoffman, Lori Sokol, Kathy Najimy, Dr. Bruce Price, Beila, Betty, Araceli Herrera, Sunsara Taylor, Rev. Jacqui Lewis, and V (formerly Eve Ensler). Translated remarks from Araceli Herrera: "I was raped. I suffered for years. I was made fun of by people, by my neighbors, by my family. But the worst people were the ones that made the laws that prohibits abortions. And today I’ve stopped crying. Today is the day we begin to take to the streets and scream loudly. I have the right to choose! I have the right to have an abortion! Because it is my life, because it is my body! Because we have the right to decide! It’s my choice! I won’t allow them to take it away. Women, raise your voice! Get into the streets! Starting today until the day of the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court decision that will affect our lives. Let’s get out and shout: we will not allow you to take away our right!"
