Thousands of people marched for women's rights in Washington, D.C., on Saturday (November 2), just days before the U.S. presidential election. Many of the attendees urged voters to cast their ballots, including Rachel O’Leary Carmona, the executive director of the Women's March, who said, "More than ever in 2024, we are voting on freedom or fascism." - REUTERS

00:00I'm a 77-year-old woman. I remember when women were crying and carrying on with coat hangers
00:16and other kinds of means to save their lives. I remember when women were crying out for
00:20support at medical care because they needed to have their husbands involved in their lives
00:25and they had no choice. They had to go along with whatever men wanted. So here we are today
00:31standing up for democracy, standing up for the right to choose, standing up for all the
00:37women who come before us and behind us.
00:40I'm going to be 65 in January and I can't believe we're at this point again. And that
00:48people have become so cruel and vile and unkind. And this country is really, it's a bunch of
00:54puritanical BS that we're based on, right? Because why does anybody need to know who's
01:00sleeping with whom anyway?
01:02More than ever in 2024, we are voting on freedom or fascism and there's really no middle ground.
01:07And so this is, you know, it's a fight for our life. It's the fight for our future, our
01:11freedom, our family and everything that we love is on the line. So it is critical that
01:15we all turn out and we all vote.
