- January 5 - "Feminists will be out in full force at the Inauguration on January 20,
reminding Bush, Cheney and the Cabinet nominees that we won't tolerate a roll-back of our rights," said National Organization for Women (NOW)
President Patricia Ireland. "Bush's nomination of radical right-wing
ideologues is an affront to the majority in this country who favor more
progressive policies."
Who: NOW President Patricia Ireland and other activists
What: Presidential Inauguration Protest
Where: Navy Memorial
(Pennsylvania Ave, between 8th and 9th Streets, NW)
Washington, D.C.
When: Saturday, January 20
11:30 AM to 2:30 PM
NOW President's Statement at 12:45 PM
"John Ashcroft, Linda Chavez and Tommy Thompson are proponents of some of the most regressive social policies on the ultraconservatives' agenda,"
Ireland said. "The new president and his Cabinet are in for a bumpy four
years if they plan to break Bush's promise to govern with compassion."
