DNC Statement on Women’s History Month Arrow

In celebration of Women's History Month, DNC Chair Ken Martin and DNC Women's Caucus Chair Alicia Andrews released the following statement:

"Throughout the month of March, we honor the women who broke barriers and shattered glass ceilings so others could follow. These trailblazers, known and unknown, sacrificed to push our nation forward, advocating for women's rights, demanding recognition for women of color, and risking violence and arrest as they fought for the right to vote.

"In honor of their legacy, each of us has a responsibility to continue the work to demand equality, justice, and freedom for all women. As Democrats, we will never back down from this fight.

"We will continue our fight to end the gender wage gap; expand the child tax credit; support women-led small businesses and entrepreneurs; restore access to reproductive health, including abortion rights; strengthen the Violence Against Women Act; and so much more. We will directly oppose Republicans who seek to turn back the clock for women and put lives and economic opportunity at risk. And we will always strive to deliver a better future where the fundamental rights and freedoms for women and girls are secured and expanded for generations to come."
