We are wearing red to
signify our love for our sisterhood and our passionate energy to pursue
measures that will advance the lives of women and families, such as
equal pay, paid family leave, quality affordable child care, access to
Federal health care, and freedom from violence. In Congress, Democrats will resist efforts to take us back from hard-
earned gains, standing strong against the unrelenting attempts by
Republicans to repeal the Affordable Care Act, defund Planned
Parenthood, and block access to full reproductive care. In the words of
the Women's March, today we raise our voices to say that women's rights
are human rights, regardless of a woman's race, ethnicity, religion,
immigration status, and so forth. When women succeed, the world
succeeds.
