Event Quotes

“It’s our turn and our time. Time for us to take the future into our own hands. To become the founding mothers and daughters of a new age for America, a nation powered by our diversity, drawing strength from the rich tapestry of our lives.” — Debra Ness, National Partnership President

“I realize that for many of us, success depends not only on our strengths but on the strengths of other individuals and on amazing organizations like the National Partnership for Women & Families. Helping more women stand strong for women’s health, reproductive rights, and economic justice are ways we can make positive change and help women like me find and achieve success.” — Representative Deb Haaland, distinguished honoree

“The National Partnership for Women & Families has played such an important role in improving our health care system, protecting and expanding our rights, and ensuring equality and fairness for all.” — Representative Lauren Underwood, distinguished honoree

“We — you and I — support the Partnership because we care very deeply about helping women and families. We know the enormous pressures placed upon women in our dual roles as breadwinners and caretakers. We understand the concerns and even fear that families face dealing with expensive and inadequate healthcare. And we’re both appalled and energized by the on-going assault on our rights by the Trump-led right wing. The National Partnership gives us a way to fight back, to focus the conversation on the policies women need, and to tally victories that improve the lives of women and families.— Ellen Malcolm, founder of EMILY’s List and lifetime achievement award recipient
