Today is International Women’s Day — a day when we celebrate the strength, resilience, and determination of women everywhere.
And on this International Women’s Day, I’m proud to be an unapologetic voice for women’s rights.
I’m proud to be a fierce advocate for abortion rights. I’m proud that, as your next Congresswoman, I’ll be the FIRST Black woman (and woman) to represent NJ-10. And I’m proud that we’ve built a powerful pro-women progressive movement to defeat a do-nothing incumbent who’s mediocre at best when it comes to women’s rights.
For too long, women (and especially Black women) have been left out and left behind. We’ve had to deal with politicians like Rep. Donald Payne Jr., who would rather rake in corporate money and spur on his supporters’ sexist attacks against me than put up a real fight for women’s rights.
It’s time for us to stand up and demand better — to demand real representation and real action.
