International Women’s Day is an opportunity to celebrate the contributions and achievements of women around the world. It’s also a chance to recommit to the work still ahead to achieve gender equality.
Throughout my career, I have been proud to uplift women in Washington and across the country.
From expanding the Violence Against Women Act, working with women entrepreneurs to grow more women-owned businesses, leading the fight for paid family leave, narrowing the gender wage gap, safeguarding reproductive freedom – women’s rights have always been a main focus of my work.
But that work is far from over. Today, women’s freedoms are under near-constant attack. Anti-choice extremists are steadily dismantling abortion access and reproductive care across the country.
Together, we can build a world that is more equitable, inclusive, and just.
Thanks for adding your voice.
