“Our Rights Are Consistently Under Attack”: Protesters Slam U.S. Gov’t on International Women’s Day

HeadlineMar 10, 2025

Rallies took place across the globe Saturday to mark International Women’s Day. Here in the U.S., protesters largely focused on Trump and the Republican Party’s attacks on women and the LGBTQ+ community. This is a rallygoer in New York.

Elyse Dressler: “I can’t believe we’re here again for this and that women’s rights consistently are under attack. And not only are women’s rights under attack, but our less fortunate, our Black family, our LGBTQ family. There are very scary and very real things in Project 2025, and we are seeing that book becoming the law of the land over the Constitution.”
