The Women's March happening here in Portland on January 21st has undergone some major leadership change over the last week, most notably that the march is now being lead by a woman of color from Portland. Before the leadership change, march organizers had come under heavy criticism for censoring discussion and for a lack of inclusivity. Margaret Jacobsen, the Women's March's new leader, spoke with us live in Studio 2 to talk about what the change over means for the march; womanism vs feminism; the white feminism of Portland; and why it's ok to have uncomfortable conversations around race, gender, and identity.
