movement started they. set of measures in terms of social spending so that's was significant to nowhere but certainly not really enough if you take into account the whole set of. demands and all the nice words expressed in those demonstrations acts really go much beyond the initial the initial demands in terms of fuel costs and things like that so they're still really had this imbalance in the in france in europe in politics. alexander do you still think that president mccone must resign must go. then does not have does not hear. me and you know less bar and reserve reproach is quite so important fact i mean i mean i read here of the population already that actually pulled a string or is a lot of awareness and therefore are aware of country disparages and grow up knowing and especially now is invited to bear and until 40 c. . we denounce explodes and mass and then when i said there was definitely a statement you put it says when the us. dollar part we are. micro these are copied that is and we need the rele

a peaceful mass movement. now, when he launched, they all ridiculed him as counterproductive, part of the problem. now when you speak like that, like they consider themselves radicalization preventers. now, when they say we are actually do radicalize her's, listen to us. now the entire chakra goes out that -- chat group goes out them. exchange pill is becoming more acceptable. that is because of the manifesto transnational is ideology that has been expanding and becoming more coherent. that is a byproduct from that. acceleration, this type of thing involved with eastern europe. this has always been, from my perspective, when i was working on things online, guys were talking about how do we get more european chapters? how do we go back there? that is our utopia. that is the utopian society they want to get back to. that is the goal, so how do we get there? i guess in the group i was in, it was all about taking that little micro and making it a macro thing. the internet was the first thing. now, they have these

this student movement also has crossed generational support. them and said yes we've been complaining for years that young people are a political but now driving change we need the courage and ambition mood and the i'm beats you want to do you don't like that and so you know. romero. 23 year old student louise annoyed about the best known activist in the german fridays for future movement is one of the co organizers of the demonstration in berlin. yes we're here and we're loud because you're stealing our future. yes yes. like all the young activists here luisa has devoted her summer holiday to the movement. yes i've got that yes yes the best man at the world is changing rapidly we're witnessing things shift all the time not just the climate but also questions of justice about what we can expect from economic systems in democracies and then just see that it goes hand in hand with the huge push for emancipation but the climate justice movement is giving rise to all this must be built. yes max listen to me today we've made history 270000 people de

my question is the intersection of the suffrage movement and the temperance movement and the prohibition at the same time as both the women's right to vote amendment. >> yes, indeed. that was an interesting intersection, from the very beginning in the 1870's and '80s, when the women's christian temperance union begins to organize, many of the leaders were activists of temperance. for some it was a moral question, but for some it was a question about domestic violence because women had very few legal ways to redress an abusive husband or father. police were not interested. they couldn't bring them to court, and so by stemming it at the source, so to speak, te temperance becomes an answer to domestic violence. the suffragettes were looking at the vote was a means of rights for women are aligned, not all, but many, with the temperance movement. and prohibition is already in effect and you'd say, well, it's all over, you know. why would the liquor lobby be interested. by the way the liquor lobby has been trying to apose suffrage in all the states and at the federal level for decades because

in the 1st place how has this movement to reshape france now in one year. well it has reshaped the country in that it's very clear that many people are quite unhappy with you know that reform program that the government is having and couldn't tin ying therefore obviously retracted on certain measures just as you said they've drawn that very controversial fuel tax at the government also for example increased the minimum wage to pay these protesters anger but the underlying reforms are continuing so when you look to look at $1.00 recent poll for example more than 50 percent of the french are still in favor the day they still understand the anger and the frustration of this movement whereas at that same poll there is also saying that more than 60 percent of the french want the protests to stop so it's very clear that this country is still continuing its in its reform movement but there are many people here are very unhappy about it and very unhappy about you know the bigger picture basically that it's a capitalistic country in that they're not enough social me

starting a splinter movement. a more radical stream of the suffrage movement had young inherence like sue white who was the head of the women's party. splitting off from the mainstream. we see this happening all the time and labor, in the labor movement. the civil rights unit. a young more impatient taking off. sue white, daughter of west tennessee, wants to be a lawyer. she joins the suffrage movement. gradually gets impatient and joins alice paul's national women's party. those are my three characters that we follow. the head of the establishment. 2 million women who are affiliated with the national american suffrage association. she comes down from new york to run the strategy for getting the federal amendment through. sue white who is running -- she is running the women's party. to women's organizations. single, but working separately and working sometimes at odds with each other. then you have josephine pearson who is leading the opposition. you have a whole constellation of men and politicians and corporate

had you keep the movement together with all of these different movements and then how do you get them out if you got them in a certain way cracks is that a tactic. >> with the national socialist movement one of the things that we found from a lot of different groups to speak at clan gatherings or skinhead concerts wasn't just the head of the national socialist movement but all the different groups to take that into consideration. that this is a group the new york confederacy and things like that and then they would focus on that. different groups would have a different niche. national socialist movement is said religion was for home and family that is one of the most divisive things in the movement early on between christian identity atheist, all of these different things. not giant clashes they are ideological to say once the war breaks out because they don't believe. in our god. and so for us in our structure so you have different levels. >> thank you. can we talk about spreading of the message so what about the extremist messages how do you use that t to your advantage knowing what

because we were touched by this movement of young people who stand up against nationalism. so we thought why don't we elderly people also give a hand. if you're not already you see those kind of handmade signs i mean it's a grassroots movement what chance does this have going up against i mean much as it remains the most popular party in italy and that's even after this after the big blow over the summer when mentos have been pulled the plug on the coalition government with the 5 star movement and now the league is in the opposition but recent opinion polls did give it still give it where 30 percent popularity there really strong also the regional level also in the region in the region where the sardines movement was. launched but this movement has taken by surprise you know for a long time he has been the one filling up the squares and and using social media to fuel his popularity and now for the 1st time we see like a counter movement here really sparking this kind of participation and momentum. he has responded ironically proposing for example this new league logo on his

but you're not a passenger in this movement you're one of the spokes people for this movement don't you isn't it time you took responsibility for the well i think definitely i should be taking some of the responsibilities off finding the way out for hong kong for the whole movement but the fact is when the situation hung on this like changing in a very. in a very lightning speed every day we do not see our future we do not even know what would happen in the next state because back in june back in july we did not expect the government to be exercising its emergency powers don't have a plan of word to go do we want from saying we want all our demands met in full perhaps the only plan you have been to put it we do have a we do have a plan we are very clear that we have to rethink about our we have to rethink about the future of hong kong we have to think about a 2047 debt line and i believe that is the consensus among congress are they going to 5 demands we're trying to discuss we are trying to have discussions amount different stakeholders in hong kong about our future after 2047 the

to stop the movement by initiating violence and hat so attacking people that arert in e movement. it does just thethey opposite.ie the guys will thrive on that sort of thing. they would say, we did an event in mississippi one time in tupelo, and the police sort of s cordoned off the. area. so really there was like a handful of peoplee from the downtown area, police and press. and the guys that were there s withit us were national sociali movement and clan. they said this was the most boring rally, uneventful they've ever done, it was demoralizing from the stand point of the movement. now other times, like we had a h big street fight in new jersey, why can't we have that again? they knew in the national to socialist tamovement, you coulde attack somebody. it was against our rules. this for 27 years lence total. never had notat one person from the nationalal socialist moveme arrested for violence at a ere rally, because we knew it was our rules anddefended our guide that you did not hit somebody first. if you were hit you defended ret yourself. but to say that people weren't hoping

and the reasons they supported the movement. this is one of a series associated with their exhibit rightfully hers, american women and the vote. >>> well, good evening. welcome to the william g. mccoun theater. i'm debrawall, deputy ar kooifr for the u.s. i'm pleased you can join us whether you're here or joining us online. tonight's discussion of women's suffragists and the men who supported them, the suffrage gents and their role is part of the series related to our special exhibit rightfully hers. our partners are the 2020 women's vote centennial initiative and the one woman, one vote 2020 festival. we thank them for their support. our special twibt tells the story of women's voting rights. to sure these they had to win allies among men in influential positions. it was men who sat in the state legislatures that would ratify or reject the 19th amendment who's centennial we now celebrate. when it opened in our gallery last may guests at the opening reception were offered a yellow rose pin as they entered. that evoked the badges

america is now trying to reignite the opposition movement. germany's greens are in the opposition for now thought polls show them nipping at the heels of america's leading conservatives increased concern over climate change is largely responsible for their newfound popularity but also the party's co-leaders have done their share uniting in expanding the party's base now general elections here in germany aren't scheduled until 2021 and there's a good chance the greens could find themselves in government still they struggle in germany's former east where many voters fear a climate agenda will hurt a region already suffering from brain drain and deindustrialization. flowers for the winner the greens reelected on only not their book as co-leader with 97 point one percent of the vote thank you i kept the result i'm speechless in christ thank you. no leader of the greens has ever been elected by such a margin before in her acceptance speech stressed the goal of receiving a carbon neutral economy and society. the most industrious that we have to ass

by impacting people in the movement. it does just the opposite. they would say we did an event in mississippi one time. the police cordoned off the area a handful of people from the downtown area. the guys that were there with us it was demoralizing. other times, why can't we have that again? they knew you could not attack somebody that was against our rules. i had done this for 27 years total. national socialist movement. arrested for violence at a rally it did not hit somebody first. to say that people were hoping or wishing for that violence would be incorrect. turning that into something that they thrive on. they would shut down this group, that absolutely does not work. that's what they want. >> what is the strategy? inciting violence is the number one way to push out messages in a lot of ways. what is the alternative then? kind of trying to quell this. >> i feel like in this country everybody has the right to protest. the right, the left or whatever in between. it is kind of a complicated thing. in some ways, like

there is now a worldwide movement of white supremacists.haring their twisted ideas on the internet. in march a gunman massacred 51 people at prayer in new zealand. in his 87-page manifesto, the terrorist cited his inspiration -- white supremacists in america, britain, sweden, norway. then in a vicious circle of racial hate the el paso shooter who murdered 22 people in august cited new zealand as an inspiration. all of these people believe they are being replaced and must fight to resist it. and much of this discourse on white supremacy is centered in the united states of america. how did this happen? where did it come from? after slavery, the holocaust, the civil rights movement. the truth is race has been the central conflict in american life from the day the republic was born. we've witnessed extreme racism before in periods of upheaval and rapid social change, and now once again we are living in such a time. >> hail trump. hail our people. hail victory. >> we need to make america great again. >> trump definitely energized the alt right.

was that part of the movement? righte point, we got the to own property and to keep your salary if you worked. one was that? -- when was that? was a very important state in a lot of these legal reforms in 1848, they passed a married women property act, which meant married women could hold property. law -- theyast a passed a law that said women could control their own earnings. >> this is new york. is there ever a federal law that said women have the right without their husband's permission to earn money and keep their own money? me, and incredibly important thing, and i cannot believe it got subordinated to being able to vote. it goes with it or before it, to not have the right to keep your own money. 1920,hink most states by women would have been able to control their own earnings. >> but you don't know. >> in new york, if you worked, your husband got everything. >> one more quick question. have sre so fortunate to ix exhibits about women's suffrage and accomplishments. is that happening in other places around the

and i think what's interesting about this movement as opposed to some other movements for social changes that it is -- change is that it is a one-issue thing. it is not a complicated question. it is not like bringing up abortion or bringing up birth control, issues that become complicated on numerous grounds. this is simple and straightforward and a moral wrong. how can a citizen who has to pay taxes, has to go to jail for wrongs, has to abide by contracts, has to do every single other thing any other citizen has to do and has no say in determining what happens? it is just a moral wrong. so that is easy to get on board from, in a way. long. then it took so >> it was really susan b. anthony who narrowed it. elizabeth cady stanton wanted a broader standard. shewanted divorce reform, had a broad agenda, property rights, educational opportunities. b. anthony who said, no, we are just going to focus on the vote, and this sort of validates her. >> you also notice that because there are so many horrific things going on, women's issues tend to always get subordinated even by women. horrible, but
