Voices urging unity and protest

Today, people are protesting across the United States. They’re rallying. They’re walking off their jobs to mark the one-year anniversary of the inauguration of president Donald Trump. 

It’s part of a nationwide protest called the “Free America Walkout.” It’s organized by the Women’s March, the group that led the huge women’s marches against Trump in his first term. More than 400 events, rallies, and actions are happening throughout the United States. People are braving the cold weather, walking out of jobs and schools and standing up. 

Today also marks the one-year anniversary of Stories of Resistance. This is the last episode of Season 1 of Stories of Resistance. Stay tuned for season 2 later this year.

Please check out our new season of Under the Shadow. It’s all about Trump’s onslaught in Latin America. You can listen and subscribe here: https://therealnews.com/under-the-shadow
