Duckworth Addresses Women’s March on Washington
WASHINGTON, DC] – U.S. Senator Tammy
Duckworth (D-IL) shown in the center addressed
the 2017 Women’s March on Washington recently,
calling on those in attendance to get involved in their
communities. Following her remarks, Duckworth
released the following statement:
“Right now, there are real threats to women’s
rights and civil rights in our country. However, the
core values of our great nation – values for which I
and countless other servicemembers risked our lives
and limbs to protect – are stronger than the agenda
of any one person. The best way we can fight for
our rights is for more people to get involved in the
political process. To everyone who attended a march
today, stay involved in your community. Stand up
and make your voice heard. Together, we can ensure
that every woman – no matter her race or religion –
has the right to fair pay, the right to make decisions
about her own body and the right to a safe workplace
environment.”
