Dear Friend,

Today is Equal Pay Day but it is not a day we celebrate; it is a day we commemorate. It is the day that symbolizes how far into the year women need to work to make what men did in the previous year because of the gender pay gap.

Today, the independent Congressional Budget Office released its analysis of the House Republican's plan to repeal the Affordable Care Act, and the news for millions of Americans across the country and at home in New York was just as bad as many of us had feared.

This Saturday I proudly participated in the Women’s March on New York City, joining more than two million women and men around the world in support of equal rights and a better future for our children. We marched to send a message to President Trump and the Republican Congress that we will not back down one inch when it comes to protecting a woman’s right to choose, LGBTQ equality, the Affordable Care Act, immigrant rights and more. It was an inspiring and energizing experience and one that I will carry with me as I fight in Congress to defend our progressive values.
