Check out my new podcast, on @ACLU At Liberty! I'm interviewed by @EmersonSykes about @NotoriousRBG and the ACLU Women's Rights Project's work then and now.

[ACLU @ACLU]

Before she became the Supreme Court Justice and icon we know today, Ruth Bader Ginsburg founded our Women's Rights Project.

Our current WRP director Lenora Lapidus joined us on At Liberty to talk about women's rights then and now: https://t.co/sGOQhAO4SD

Paid family leave must be available to all workers. Teachers cannot be forced to rely on donations from their generous colleagues.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

We must make paid family leave a reality for all Americans. No one should have to rely on the kindness of their colleagues when their kids need them the most.

As president, I will reinstate DACA until Congress can pass comprehensive immigration reform. Dreamers represent the best of who we are as a country. We owe it to them to act.

SCOTUS grants cert in three LGBT cases. It will consider whether federal law barring discrimination in employment based on sex bars discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

Over a million people have lost their insurance since President Trump took office and started sabotaging families' health care. And millions more will lose their care if he has his way in court.

It's far past time to stop this sabotage.

We must embrace paper ballots and upgrades to our election infrastructure in 2020. Russia and other foreign adversaries cannot hack a piece of paper like they can a computer. Every voter deserves to have their vote counted. It’s imperative we work now to protect our elections.

We need to do more to support Black Maternal Health and end racial disparities. I support @PattyMurray and @SenKamalaHarris on resolution recognizing #BlackMaternalHealthWeek. @ACLU

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Proud to join @SenKamalaHarris on her resolution recognizing Black Maternal Health Week. Too many mothers in our country are dying in childbirth, and our unacceptably high maternal death rate is even higher among women of color. We have to change that. #BlackMaternalHealthWeek

[Lenora Lapidus @LenoraLapidus]

Speaking with @PattyMurray at introduction of #BeHEARD Act to prevent and remedy workplace harassment. @ACLU

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

For far too long & for far too many workers in our country, being protected under our civil rights laws was based on where you work & who you are—the #BeHEARD Act would make clear that ALL workers who have experienced harassment in the workplace are treated fairly & with dignity.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Anyone who is qualified should have the opportunity to wear our uniform & serve our country. I'll keep fighting tooth & nail against this #TransMilitaryBan & I'm grateful to @MinorityVets for coming together to #FightTheBan in Washington state & across the country this weekend.

[Lenora Lapidus @LenoraLapidus]

Congratulations, @brigitte_amiri! You’ve done amazing work @ACLU in those 14 years! Your clients are so lucky to have you fighting for them. Keep up the great work. You make us proud!

[Brigitte Amiri @brigitte_amiri]

Today is my 14th anniversary @ACLU. I've been honored to represent amazing people providing abortion and seeking abortion, and to work with wonderful colleagues. #lovemyjob

“That’s really what #MeToo was all about — this culture of silence, which leads to a culture of impunity because the employers know that whatever happens is never going to see the light of day.” said Lenora Lapidus, director of ACLU Women’s Rights Project
