The Battalion
A reported 25,000 women and a few men marched down the streets of
the nation's capital Sunday, waving signs, chanting, beating drums and
shouting “Shame! Shame!” at the World
Bank and International Monetary Fund
Building.
While this may not be what one may
call a typical weekend's “women’s night
out,” six Aggie women and two Aggie
men said they would not have been caught
dead anywhere else.
The march was part of the National Or
ganization for Women’s (NOW) first
World March for Women, an event taking
place in 147 countries and calling for the
elimination of poverty and violence
against women.
“These are things that we Wholeheart
edly believe in and want to bring across to
the world,” said Lindsay Ballew, a mem
ber of the Texas A&M NOW chapter and
a senior English and history major. “It's
important for women to have a unified
voice, or else we won’t be heard at all....
And trust me, we were plenty loud.”
The group said it received a unique
reception at the event because of its
Texas origin.
“We were basically the cheerleaders
from our section, and that surprised a lot
of people because we are from Texas,”
Ballew said. “People were like, ‘Wow,
you're from Texas and you don't sup
port Bush?’ ”
Christy Dunagin, the chapter’s president and a junior psychology major,
said this surprise encouraged the Aggies,
“People take for granted that Bush is going to carry the state (of Texas),
so pushing for our agenda here can be hard,” Dunagin said. “I think we got
a little more respect because we are from Texas.”
Dunagin said NOW is currently backing Gore in the presidential elec
tion. During the march, several Bush-Cheney signs were torn down.
