Dear Ralph,
Surgeon. Teacher. CEO. Athlete. Nurse. Congresswoman.
We are the women that help build America — and we’ve come a long, long way.
On this date in 1920, after more than half a century of fighting for our rights, the 19th Amendment passed Congress, asserting a woman’s right to cast a ballot.
We call this Women’s Equality Day. It’s a day to remember the long road we’ve traveled. And perhaps more importantly, a day to reflect on the battles that still lie ahead to achieve true equality.
Women in Florida still earn just 80 cents for every dollar men earn. We’re still fighting to stop discrimination, protect a woman’s right to choose, and expand access to affordable, quality health care.
There are many right-wing factions, in Washington and across the country, looking to turn back the clock on women’s rights. But I am committed to keeping this country on a track forward — and I am proud to have you on my side.
Thank you for all that you’ve done.
Debbie
