Folks,

It’s Women’s History Month – a month to celebrate and acknowledge the essential role women play in American history.

But it’s just as much a month about recognizing the struggles and discrimination women continue to face.

Women make about 82 cents for every dollar a man makes – women of color even less than that.

Women’s reproductive rights are under attack across the country.

And courts often award women and people of color significantly less than white men in comparable civil cases.

That’s why I just introduced the Fair Calculations Act to outlaw discriminatory damage calculations in federal courts and help make the legal system more just and equal.

By awarding less in damages to women and people of color, our courts are declaring that some Americans’ lives are worth less based on lifetime earning potential statistics born of racism and sexism.

I’m proud to introduce this bill to outlaw disriminatory damage calculations in federal courts because all Americans deserve equal justice.

And as long as I’m in Congress, I’ll continue to introduce and support legislation that strengthens and protects women’s rights and equity.

In solidarity,
Sean
