Hillary Clinton: "We must keep fighting" #SenecaFalls+167
- U.S.
presidential candidate Hillary Clinton vows to "keep fighting for equal
pay for equal work" for women. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
This really matters to me
When
Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott, Frederick Douglass, and 97 other
brave women and men signed their names to the Declaration of Sentiments
in Seneca Falls 167 years ago today, they sparked a movement that
altered the course of history.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident,” they wrote, “that all men and women are created equal.” All men and women -- incredible how just two words could change millions of lives.
We
cannot forget the heroes who went to jail and even died to give women
the right to vote, earn and keep wages, own property, serve in the
military, and hold elected office. We owe it to our daughters and
granddaughters to continue the march of progress in America and around
the world
I've
been fighting for these ideals for my entire career -- and I want to
take that fight all the way to the White House. Will you stand with me?
We
must keep fighting for equal pay, especially for women of color, who
often lose out the most. We must fight for equal access to good jobs,
good health care, and good child care, for the rights of women to make
our own reproductive health decisions, and to make sure that every
little girl in America can be anything she wants when she grows up --
even President of the United States.
The full participation of
women and girls in our society is more than an issue of fairness; it’s
also a smart way to grow our economy. When women aren’t paid fairly,
families lose out on thousands of dollars every year that could go
toward paying for groceries or rent, saving for retirement, or sending a
child to college. When we fight for equality, we fight for a better
future for all of our children.
Sign your name to declare
your support for equality and pledge to redouble our efforts to finish
the work that began in Seneca Falls:
