“On International Women’s Day, we honor the extraordinary contributions that women have made and recognize that our work to achieve equality is far from complete. Whether marching for the right to vote and reproductive rights, raising their voices in support of equal pay, or speaking out against inhumane immigration policies that separate children from their mother’s arms, women in our communities are leading the fight towards progress.
