Dear Friends and Neighbors,
We can never have an equal and just society until women's rights are upheld and taken seriously. From the fight for civil rights to groundbreaking inventions, women make innumerable contributions to every sector of our society. We stand on the shoulders of the women who marched before us and blazed a trail toward equality.
That's why today, I joined my colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives in voting yes on two major pieces of legislation that will help strengthen women's rights.
