| Popis: | Can a crowd of individuals who are motivated by a range of issues related to racial identity, class, gender and sexuality mobilize around a shared issue, and, if so, how does this process work in practice? To date, limited research has explored intersectionality as a mobilization tool for social movements. This paper expands recent work on how intersectional motivations influence the constituencies at large-scale protest events by comparing across some of the largest events that have taken place in Washington, DC since the Resistance began the day after President Trump’s inauguration in January 2017. Analyzing data collected from a random sample of participants, we explore patterns of motivations of participants in marches over the first year of the Trump Presidency. Our analysis demonstrates how individuals’ motivations to participate represented an intersectional set of issues and how coalitions of issues emerge. However, when we look across the marches, we also find that the patterns in these coalitions of issues are not durable across events, which indicates the limitations of interpretations of the Resistance as a unified intersectional movement. |
