Monday, January 19, 2015: Women's Magazine Honors MLK. Vylma V and Lisa Detmer host a live call in show.

What it means to be feminist:

Today Jan 19th 2015, on Women's Magazine we honor Martin Luther King Jr Day by hearing from a couple of women who are participating in the Oakland march Reclaiming King's Legacy: A Jobs & Economy March for the People. Thousands marched from the Fruitvale BART station to Coliseum BART station. We got an update from Needa, a member of the Anti-Police Terrorism Project, one of the main groups organizing the 96 hours of marches and actions across the U.S and the Bay Area dedicated  to Reclaim MLK Day. And from Kate Raphael of Women's Magazine. And in the second half of the show we heard from Angela Wellman,Vylma Ortiz and lisa Dettmer as well as other members of Women's Magazine on their thoughts on feminism and why a show like women's magazine is important.
