    Statement From Senate Democratic Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins


    On Womens Equality Day
    Tomorrow will be the ninety-seventh anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment, which
    recognized womens right to vote. New York helped lead the fight for womens equality and
    served as a progressive beacon for other states, and the nation as a whole, to follow. During these
    challenging times with very real threats being made to womens rights, we must again step up
    and lead by example in this fight. The challenges ahead of us are daunting but we have a
    responsibility to follow in the footsteps of our suffragette foremothers and their allies, and to
    build a stronger and fairer society for our daughters.
