Women Leaders Praise Biden’s Agenda for Women
Donald Trump’s response to the coronavirus crisis has been a trail of disasters and broken promises, especially for working women.
“Donald Trump’s reckless and chaotic coronavirus response has wrecked the economy and destroyed millions of jobs — which has had a disproportionate impact on working women. He has attacked women’s health care and reproductive freedom and relentlessly undermined the Affordable Care Act, which ensured women could not be charged more than men and made maternity care an essential benefit,” said Ohio Democratic Women’s Caucus Chair Kathy DiCristofaro. “Trump promised he would support families and help working parents with the spiraling cost of child care, but that’s just one more broken promise. Ohio women are paying the price for Donald Trump’s broken promises and failed policies, and that’s why we need to elect Joe Biden this November.
“Vice President Joe Biden this week announced his agenda to ensure that women can fully access and exercise their civil rights and participate in our economy and country. Biden’s agenda aims to improve economic security for women, expand health care access to tackle health inequalities, help women navigate work and families, end violence against women and protect and empower women around the world.”
Across Ohio, Black women and women of color are the backbone of our homes, our businesses and our communities. No one understands that better than Vice President Biden, who has always marched in lockstep for and with us,” said Congresswoman Joyce Beatty. “Joe’s Agenda for Women today demonstrates that he’s dedicated to fighting for the fundamental changes we need to improve the lives of all women for our future generations.”
