Crown Boxing Club sits just a few minutes outside of East Lansing. The gym is run by veteran coach and area olympic representative, Ali Easley. The gym is home to several high intensity circuit style boxing classes offered by Michigan State University. But Easley does far more than teach students the fundamentals of boxing. The gym is also home to a program known as H.A.W.K. (Help a Willing Kid). Easley gives back to kids in impoverished situations from the Lansing area by providing them with his expertise in the sport and giving them a purpose at the gym.
“Hey hey, ho ho, gender bias has got to go!” chanted a crowd of more than 100 protestors at the January 20 Lansing Women’s March. The protestors met at the MSU Union on January 20 and braved single-digit temperatures. Flanked by Michigan State University Police, the protestors marched from the Union to the Hannah Administration Building. Demonstrators were marching in support of many causes, among them women’s reproductive rights, workplace equality and equal pay, advocacy for victims of sexual assault and LGBTQ+ rights. They were also marching to protest President Donald Trump’s policies on immigration and the proposed border wall.
