Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 8, 2021
Today is International Women's Day, and the theme is #ChooseToChallenge--choose to challenge gender bias and discrimination, choose to challenge poor pay, and choose to challenge desperate conditions that women are in to be opposed to. So we ask that in this day that women will realize that they are ready and able to challenge what is wrong. This is International Women's Day, and I know that the American Rescue Plan Act will take women out of the quagmire of COVID-19 and economic depression. As well, we look forward this evening to introducing the Violence Against Women Act of which I am the lead sponsor with over 150 cosponsors, so women again can have the protection that is needed by law. International Women's Day, yes, we should choose to challenge. ____________________
