Please be safe and follow CDC guidance during the coronavirus outbreak. As our country works through this difficult time, please join me in reaching out to those in need or who are feeling isolated - we are all in this together.

Last Tuesday, we celebrated the 100-year anniversary of the 19th Amendment which gave many women the right to vote, and on Wednesday we will be celebrating Women’s Equality Day.

These celebrations are both important reminders of how far we as a nation have come, but that the work to achieve equality is far from over.

Women still face workplace sexual harassment, discrimination, and are paid just $0.79 for every $1 their male counterpart makes -- and that number is even lower among women of color. Even now, the Equal Rights Amendment, a landmark piece of legislation, is collecting dust on Mitch McConnell’s desk.

Let’s make our voices heard loud and clear that we want to achieve equality under the law. ADD YOUR NAME: Demand that the Senate ratify the Equal Rights Amendment.

Protecting the rights of women shouldn’t be partisan. Instead, far-right extremists are simply ignoring all the ways women are treated unfairly and tuning out the calls of women to make things better.

But we can ensure that they get back to listening to the people they represent.

ADD YOUR NAME: Be one of the 5,000 supporters we need to sign on to my petition. We have to keep moving forward to make things better for all women. If you agree, add your name to my petition today.

And, in this election, let’s elect Montana’s second Congresswoman to the US House!

Thank you,

Kathleen Williams
