 I’ve seen a lot of change in the world since I spoke out in 1991 about the sexual harassment I experienced when I worked for Clarence Thomas.Over the years, I’ve continued working as an educator, lawyer, and advocate. I’ve seen progress for women and families moveforward, backward, and forward again. I know we’ve accomplished much, but we still have much to do.That’s why I serve on the board of the National Women’s Law Center. Because we have a long way to go in the struggle for equality — and NWLC will be the one to take us there.
Just this year, NWLC helped win a Presidential Executive Order to strengthen equal pay protections and stop federal contractors from firing women who ask about fair pay. The Center wrote a groundbreaking report that calls attention to a key roadblock to enforcing sexual harassment laws — and so much more. We’ve got a lot of work to do to ensure fair treatment for women in 2015 and beyond. We have to defend the gains we’ve made and push not only Congress but also regulatory agencies, state legislatures, and the courts to dismantle the barriers women face. And the National Women’s Law Center is exactly who I trust to get the job done. It’s up to all of us to speak out as the struggle for equality continues into the next generation, in 2015 and beyond. Thank you so much for your support. Sincerely, P.S. I’m grateful to NWLC for leading the way in the fight for equality. I know you are too.
