“We are still cheering and clapping and flabbergasted with absolute joy.
“We want to be very clear. This absolutely, without a doubt would NOT have happened without the passion and dedication of activists across the state. The Womxn Project has had the incredible honor of partnering and connecting with thousands of volunteers in recent months who have given their time and shared their stories and in so many cases went above and beyond to make sure that this important bill would finally make it through after decades of hard work.
“There were so many points in this campaign that people told us it wasn’t going to happen, but we kept organizing. There were several bumps along the road, but we kept showing up. There were times folks said we should just give up, but we didn’t. We kept on fighting together. This night – this win – this huge step forward is a result of that tenacity and of the fact that we knew this was so much bigger than any one of us.” – The Womxn Project
