WA ratified the the Equal Right Act, guaranteeing equal rights for women, in 1973. Its addition to the Constitution is long overdue.

We are one step closer thanks to the Judiciary Committee’s actions today. #ERANow

On #WomensEqualityDay we honor the women who fought for our right to vote, and recognize that Black, Native American, and Asian women did not gain that right in 1920 due to discrimination. Let’s celebrate all women who have fought for the right to vote.

@GovInslee Welcome J. Manny Santiago! Looking forward to working together.

Today is #BlackWomensEqualPayDay. Transparency and the ability to discuss pay at your work is important to addressing the #paygap.

[Governor Bob Ferguson @GovBobFerguson]

More and more employers get it: allowing parents to bring their infants to work is a boost for the child, for the parents, and for team morale and retention. Congrats and thanks to @waDSHS and all our participating state agencies for supporting our working parents.

On #WomensDay, and every day, a woman’s place is… everywhere.

[Women's Day @womensday]

Happy #InternationalWomensDay Let's celebrate the fabulous achievements of women, while collectively we forge a more gender-balanced world for #IWD2019 and beyond #BalanceforBetter https://t.co/SlKO1TeaTZ

[Governor Bob Ferguson @GovBobFerguson]

This #InternationalWomensDay we remember the victories of discovery, innovations of science and humanitarian advancements that have been brought to us by great #WomenInHistory, but we also consider the many contributions from women that were never recorded or realized. #IWD2019

[Governor Bob Ferguson @GovBobFerguson]

Honoring the contributions of women isn't enough. It's up to those of us in leadership to make sure every girl is given the same opportunity to seek out and pursue their dreams, and every woman is compensated fairly and afforded equal rights. #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2019
