The Brood: Taking political action as a family
There have been a lot of marches, protests and demonstrations in this nation of late.
In Washington DC, the 44th annual March for Life takes place today.
Last weekend, hundreds of thousands of people turned out on the streets of downtown LA for the Women's March.
But of course the march wasn't just populated by women... men came, too, and so did kids.
Current events have raised all sorts of questions about how to participate in political action as a family.
To help sort through some of those questions, three women joined Take Two's Alex Cohen with advice on how to protest with children:
Yvonne Condes and Sarah Auerswald from the MOMS LA blog and Mahdis Keshavarz, founder of the Make Agency, a global PR consultancy with social justice at its core.
