Reply #37: A HS senior organized the rally in SF [View All]

She was frustrated that she couldn't attend the DC rally so she organized her own! I was impressed.

I agree with you Ripley. I think much of the fault lies with the organizers and the need to fit in so many speakers. A few younger college age organizers should have been given the podium even if they are not famous. Salon has an article on this subject and how feminist leaders do not have heiresses to pass the baton to. Also, the article quotes someone who was trying to get celebrities that the younger actresses are afraid it would hurt their careers. :eyes:
