“The battle to end sexual assault on college campuses is one of the most important civil rights movements of our time. It is a movement for change.”

“Some say 'the women’s movement is all about older women,' but this is a movement about younger women asserting their rights that women before them fought for and won.”

“Women know that only a judge with a keener sense of the importance of women's rights to decide their own destinies, a judge that has demonstrated a commitment to women's right to choose, is entitled to the highest privilege of occupying that pivotal Supreme Court seat.”

“Gloria Allred is a feminist attorney who has tried numerous cases to advance women's rights.”

“It could be advantageous for Mr. Cosby to give up the statute of limitations because there is a huge cloud on his reputation and legacy.”

“It is exciting and inspiring to see young women stand up and say 'we know that we have rights, and we intend to assert them.'”
