DNC Chair Tom Perez and DNC Women\u2019s Caucus Chair Lottie Shackelford released the following statement recognizing Women\u2019s History Month:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cWith a record number of women serving in Congress and the speaker\u2019s gavel back in Nancy Pelosi\u2019s hands, we have plenty to celebrate this Women\u2019s History Month. After the 2016 election, millions of women across the country marched and organized. They ran for office, knocked on doors, made phone calls, and told the Trump administration \u2018enough is enough.\u2019<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cDonald Trump, Republicans in Congress, and their conservative allies have continued to attack women\u2019s rights at every turn. Earlier this month, Justice Brett Kavanaugh launched his war against Roe v. Wade. And just last week, the Trump administration finalized its Title X gag rule, which could devastate millions of women and their families who rely on the program for affordable birth control, cancer screenings, and other basic health care services.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cDespite the constant attacks, Democrats are still fighting to protect reproductive rights because we believe that women have a constitutional right to make their own decisions about their bodies. We\u2019re fighting to elect more women to public office because we believe our leaders should represent the diversity of our people. We\u2019re fighting for equal pay and better wages because we believe that when women succeed, America succeeds. And we\u2019re fighting to make sure that every time we observe Women\u2019s History Month, we\u2019ll be able to celebrate even more victories for justice and equality.\u201d<\/p>\n
