Article evaluation

After reading the 2018 Women's March Article, I do agree that information needs to be updated to the most recent times. I also noticed some citation was missing. I noticed that the #Metoo movement was also mentioned which I think has strong connection to the march. I did not catch any heavy bias, however, the sexual assault advocacy section is something I would need to reread a few more times to determines, yet i do not think there was much bias in that section. I do not think there were any topics that were given too much talk or not enough (although I would like to get more specific numbers for the participation section). After checking a few links provided, they did work and some were from a TV station, which makes me question their bias and if there is any. This article is what my wiki project will be on, and it has great connections to what we have mentioned in class, such ass the inclusion of more groups as well as mentioning of the Pussyhats. Overall topics like the #Metoo movement have recently been a significant part of our lives and many people talk about and share their opinions, and the Women's march is no different as this movement also had a large coverage on social media on the day of and near the day.

Women's March : Our Mission (author unknown)

I want to add the official Women's March mission and to try and add more information into the article to explain the mission of the march rather then the idea that some media outlets have been making that it was a protest against Trump being president and making it seem like there was no other motive possible for this march, when the real reason they march is not Trump's presidency (although might be connected).

Sexual assault advocacy
On January 20, 2018, in New York City, Halsey delivered a speech to more than 200,000 protesters at the second annual Women's March. The and  movements has pushed progressive activists, including celebrities, to demand immediate social and political change.

Instead of a traditional speech, Halsey performed a five-minute poem titled A Story Like Mine, in which she talked about sexual assault and violence she and others had experienced. Her personal narrative included accompanying her best friend to Planned Parenthood after she had been raped, her personal account of sexual assault by neighbors and boyfriends, and women sexually assaulted by Olympic doctor Larry Nassar.

Halsey further expressed her belief that celebrities are more likely to be heard and recognized as legitimately significant in media systems and that they have the power to connect popular culture to political culture, stating "Listen, and then yell at the top of your lungs, be a voice for all those who have prisoner tongues."

Halsey's speech, along with others, were intended to prompt women to reflect and debate misogynistic and patriarchal societal values. Halsey read, "What do you mean this happened to me? You can't put your hands on me. You don't know what my body has been through. I'm supposed to be safe now. I've earned it." Halsey said, "Every friend I know has a story like mine." Halsey completed her speech by requesting all—"Black, Asian, poor, wealthy, trans, cis, Muslim, Christian" —sexual assault victims to listen and support each other. !!I am still unsure where the neautrality issue is located in this secion!! Halsey talks about her experience with sexual assault as well as stories of other women who had experianced sexual harassment or assult.
