A note from Diana:
This month marks the anniversary of the 19th Amendment, the moment women finally won the right to vote.
It was hard-fought, it was courageous, and it changed our country forever. Now, all I see are Republicans chipping away at our reproductive rights — and I hear voices, louder and bolder than ever, talking about taking away women’s right to vote.
Over my dead body.
These rights were not given to us. They were won. And I will fight with everything I have to make sure no one can take them away. Not now, not ever.
— Diana
