LONG LIVE WOMEN
(Ms. GARCIA of Texas asked and was given permission to address the
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. GARCIA of Texas. Mr. Speaker, this month we are celebrating
Women's History Month. Women's History Month is a time to recognize all
the work remarkable women across the world, past and present, have
achieved. It is important to reflect on our accomplishments and
recognize women trailblazers worldwide. It is incredible to see how far
we have come.
Mr. Speaker, while we have cause to celebrate all our achievements,
our work isn't finished, and more must be done. Reproductive rights are
being threatened. Many women are still fighting for equal pay for equal
work, and the ERA is not in the Constitution.
The fight continues until women are given the respect and dignity
they rightly deserve. Let's celebrate and fight for a better tomorrow
for women across the world.
``Long live women.'' ``Que viva la mujer.''
