On Friday, multiple activist groups, including student and political organizations, joined together to protest the inauguration of President Donald Trump, which took place earlier that day in Washington, D.C. On Saturday, an estimated 250,000 people attended the Women\u2019s March on Chicago, which aimed to bring attention to protecting the rights and civil liberties of women, according to the event\u2019s organizers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For a majority of the millennial generation, this was the first large-scale protest environment they have been involved in during their lifetime. The weekend\u2019s events gave millennials, which total 69.2 million in the U.S., <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/fact-tank\/2016\/05\/16\/millennials-match-baby-boomers-as-largest-generation-in-u-s-electorate-but-will-they-vote\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">according to the Pew Research Center<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, a chance to engage politically.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Benjamin Knoll, Ph.D., John Marshall Harlan Associate Professor of Politics, Centre College, explained that political science research shows that people acquire and shape their political identities from life experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThere is a lot of research that shows that big, transformative events in someone\u2019s young adulthood, specifically late high school, college years, through their late 20s, that\u2019s where political identities are valuable,\u201d Knoll said. \u201cThis event, it\u2019s hard to predict the future, but given its magnitude, I would not be surprised as those once in a generation kind of things.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Student walkouts and activist groups join forces Friday<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">George Vassilatos, an 18-year-old student from the Whitney M. Young Magnet High School and a leader of the Chicago Students Union, a student-led group working to represent the students of Chicago Public Schools, was one of the young people working to organize the rally against Trump held at Daley Plaza Friday. The group help lead student walkouts from various high schools across Chicago on Friday. These students joined the activist groups at Daley Plaza who demonstrated and hosted speakers during the afternoon. According to Vassilatos, schools have suspended several students who chose to protest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI think that young people have always been at the forefront of a lot of political activism,\u201d Vassilatos said. \u201cThis is one of the first major national things that popped up [for this generation]. I think although there is a lot of concern and uncertainty, there are these previous models and examples. Everything from the 60s and the Black Panthers to Occupy a couple of years ago. \u2026 It\u2019s really exciting to be working on something like this.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When compared to historic marches, Ryan Rock, 24, co-founder of Student and Graduate Activists, whose group joined Chicago Students Union and many other groups that organized via Facebook, said that, \u201cIt\u2019s clear that [these] movements met great success because so many people stood up and made their voice heard. That is what inspires me and keeps me hopeful.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_49291\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-49291\" style=\"width: 1100px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-49291 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/news.medill.northwestern.edu\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/01\/Love-Trumps-Hate.jpg\" alt=\"Protesters joined together Friday to demonstrate against President Trump\u2019s inauguration.
