 Shirley Chisholm once said that you don't make progress by standing on the sidelines. You make progress by implementing ideas. We have been standing on the sidelines of women's health for too long. We're going to build a city that is here for all women and girls. A city where working mothers don't have to choose between a paycheck or nursing their newborn child. A city where workplaces allow for flexibility, paid family leave, and are women's health-friendly. A city where remains a safe haven and a place where women's right to choose is protected. A city where women can get a diagnosis today, not in a decade. A city where black, Latino women no longer suffer from the inequities that deny them access and care. A city where our LGBTQI plus New Yorkers can get the health care they need. We must make sure that the women who have so often taken care of us are getting taken care of when they need it most. There's no better place to start than New York. The birthplace of feminism and the beacon of freedom for all.
