“We have the saying that when women succeed America succeeds, and we truly believe that. … Take great pride in the National Partnership for Women & Families. They have made so much possible … an intellectual resource … a mobilization force. We could never have passed the Affordable Care Act without the outside mobilization … Again, let us celebrate the National Partnership for Women & Families for leading with persistence. Persistence is everything to make progress … to expand opportunity, to strengthen families and ensure that more women have a voice in shaping our nation’s future. And while we have made enormous progress, you know we’re not finished. We have plenty more to do.”

– Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi

“We chose to be here because we share a commitment to the goals and the values of this organization. And we understand that while it’s scary at times, it is an honor to be able to fight for what we believe in at such an important time in history and that we are doing it together. So family, let tonight be our reminder that we are part of a proud lineage and a great family of fighters. This is our moment to rise and this organization, the National Partnership for Women and Families, is a beacon.”

–Labor Activist Ai-jen Poo

“The National Partnership’s 55-year history is a testament to the power of persistence. As an organization, it has done more than advocate for change. It has helped redefine what is possible, and it has reminded us that progress is not something we inherit. It is something we build together, and it’s something we must continuously fight to protect. … This is how progress happens: one victory, one family, one generation at a time. Thank you so much again for this honor and thank you for your partnership.”

– Del. Briana Sewell

“When I’m in a room like this, on a stage with amazing legends that we’ve heard from today, I am completely convinced women are going to save our democracy, right? And women will lead us to the future that honors our work, that values care, that puts love, love at the center of how we make policy. Because when we put love at the center of how we make policy, it will include all of the issues that we are fighting for and that we have heard about today.”
