Event Quotes

“When I thought about the language of ‘Democracy in Action,’ I thought about our vision statement at the Ms. Foundation … ‘We believe in a safe and just world where power and possibility are not limited by race, gender, class, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, or disability. We believe that equity and inclusion are the cornerstones of a true democracy, in which the worth and dignity of every person is valued.’ … We call in everybody to be part of it, and in fact democracy cannot thrive or even attempt to succeed if it does not have all of us participating in it.”
— Teresa C. Younger, President and CEO, Ms. Foundation for Women

“Thank you for your support of the National Partnership, because under Jocelyn Frye’s leadership and the leadership of her extraordinarily able staff, we’re going to do great things in the future. I promise.”
— Judith L. Lichtman, Senior Advisor, National Partnership for Women & Families

“The progressive movement currently faces major headwinds in our mission to advance opportunity and equity for marginalized Americans.

We’re driving compelling narratives to educate policymakers and the public about what’s at stake. And we’re building strong coalitions that can affect change … We’re doing everything we can do embody the theme, Democracy in Action, and we hope you’ll continue to support our efforts in this and all our work.
