Ms. Foundation Responds to Alabama Special Election
Ms. Foundation for Women President and CEO Teresa C. Younger released the following statement in response to the Alabama Special Election:
“We are proud of the people of Alabama for refusing to be represented by Roy Moore, and congratulate Doug Jones on the results of the special election. There is no room for sexual assault, pedophilia, and Roy Moore in the halls of Congress and these results send a clear message to those who remain on the wrong side of history.
“To the brave women who stood up and shared heartbreaking stories of the abuses they suffered as children: thank you for your courage. We will continue to speak up alongside you until all perpetrators of harassment and assault are held responsible for their actions.
“Today’s election is an important step forward for our country and for the people of Alabama, but there is still work that remains to be done. We must continue to strive towards a society where all people are respected and survivors no longer live in fear"...
