Evelyn Yang, wife of Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang, called for "big structural change" during a speech at the 4th annual Women's March in Washington, D.C., on Saturday.
"I'm so honored to be here with you all, roaring for justice, roaring for equality, roaring for peace and roaring for change," Evelyn Yang told those gathered.
Evelyn Yang, a former marketing executive who is now a stay-at-home mother, said that she "never imagined that I would be here in this context with my husband, Andrew Yang, running for president."
Evelyn Yang said that when her husband, an entrepreneur, first announced his run for office, she thought it was just a phase. But she said she gave him her blessing when she saw how unhappy the country was after the 2016 election.
"Andrew is fighting for big structural change, putting power back into people's hands," Evelyn Yang said. "His message is humanity first, and his signature proposal is the Freedom Dividend," she added, referring to the candidate's proposal to give everyone $1,000 a month in universal basic income.
Evelyn Yang's remarks came as thousands of people turned out in D.C. on Saturday to attend the Women's March, a demonstration that began in 2017 following President Trump's inauguration.
