Event Quotes
“Here’s the truth people need to understand: To tackle the challenges of the 21st century, we must empower women and families. If we do not lift up women and families, everyone will fall short. Because when you lift up women, you lift up families, you lift up communities, you lift up economies — and you lift up America.”
— U.S. Senator Kamala Harris
“Since the National Partnership for Women & Families opened its doors more than 45 years ago, we have been standing strong — working tirelessly to create a society that is free, fair and just — where nobody has to experience discrimination, all workplaces are family friendly, and no family is without quality, affordable health care and real economic security.”
— National Partnership Board Chairwoman Ellen Malcolm
“We’re taking back our destiny. The National Partnership is fighting every day to put the issues that matter to women and families front and center — to secure a better future for all of us. And we are having an impact. Together, we are creating a resurgence in activism.”
— National Partnership President Debra Ness
