      Happy #WomensEqualityDay! Women’s rights are civil & human rights and LGBTQ rights and disability rights and immigrant rights. And our coalition – and the fierce women who help to lead it – won’t stop fighting for ALL of them. Here's how we're urging action to advance equality:

      The ability to meaningfully participate in our democracy is a racial justice issue. It’s a civil & women’s rights issue. And the need for action is urgent. We need a bold democracy reform package – like #HR1 – that offers solutions to a broken democracy. The Senate MUST act.pic.twitter.com/v1wEbZKM5O

      Equal pay is an issue of fundamental fairness – but for too many women, and especially women of color, #equalpay remains far from reality. That’s why we need the #PaycheckFairness Act, which the House passed five months ago. Women can’t wait any longer. #WomensEqualityDaypic.twitter.com/9Gyk5VPNOZ

      We also need to recognize that despite great strides in LGBTQ rights in recent decades, millions of LGBTQ people are still subject to violence, discrimination & uncertainty over whether their rights will be protected. The Senate must pass the #EqualityAct NOW. #WomensEqualityDaypic.twitter.com/QZ6lUhGjLG

      We know that disability rights are a women’s rights issue – and our coalition is committed to continuing the fight for equal access, integration & inclusion. That’s why Congress MUST pass #DIAToday. The community integration of people with disabilities is a civil rights issue!pic.twitter.com/nrFB0ZWVaC

      Our #courtsmatter, and they’re constantly deciding cases that impact critical rights for women. If you care about women’s rights, then you need to care about the courts, and you need to tell your senators to reject extreme nominees who won’t uphold our rights. #WomensEqualityDaypic.twitter.com/3uLNbA1eTo

      The administration’s consistent assault on the rights of immigrant communities demands congressional action NOW. Our coalition is fighting on many fronts – including by demanding lawmakers pass #DreamAndPromiseNow to provide protections to Dreamers, TPS holders & DED recipients.pic.twitter.com/FjlZM2JCr7

      Without equal access to the ballot for ALL eligible voters, we can’t make real progress on crucial women’s rights issues. You can be sure of this: We won’t stop working until Congress fully restores the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and modernizes our democracy. #WomensEqualityDaypic.twitter.com/VvBlSV0aNq

      And of course, this is just the start: We need a reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, which @senatemajldr continues to block. We need to raise the minimum wage. We need #paidleave. And we need a comprehensive bill to address workplace harassment. #WomensEqualityDay
