Ensuring that women are treated equally through economic opportunities and civic representation is a mission we've always fought for in order to make meaningful change.
But we know that we cannot achieve meaningful change for all women without equality for all. We stand in solidarity -- and as allies -- as we mourn the death of George Floyd. We will not have justice as long as Black women and their fathers, sons, brothers and uncles are targeted and unfairly impacted by systemic racism that underlies many of our laws and institutions.
Being treated unequally because of the color of your skin is not just a problem for Black people, it's a problem for every American to acknowledge, confront and reconcile.
We are committed to supporting our community so that we may grow and effectively end systemic injustices, and we pledge support for those working and protesting peacefully for equality and justice.
