HOUSE RESOLUTION 17 BY SOME
MEMBER AGUIAR-CURRY AND OTHERS
RELATIVE TO WOMEN'S HISTORY
MONTH. MR AGUILAR CURRY, YOU MAY
OPEN ON THE MEASURE. GOOD
MORNING MEMBERS. ON BEHALF OF
THE LEGISLATIVE WOMEN'S CAUCUS.
I RISE TODAY TO PRESENT HOUSE
RESOLUTION 17 PROCLAIMING MARCH
2023 AS WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH.
WE DEDICATE THIS MONTH TO
REFLECT ON THE OFTEN OVERLOOKED
CONTRIBUTIONS OF WOMEN
THROUGHOUT HISTORY AND
RECOGNIZING HOW THE EFFORTS AND
BRAVERY OF PAST GENERATIONS
CONTINUE TO PAVE THE WAY FOR
WOMEN AND GIRLS TODAY. THERE IS
SO MUCH STILL TO WORK TO GET
DONE IN CALIFORNIA, ACROSS OUR
COUNTRY, AND EVEN HERE IN OUR
OWN STATE LEGISLATURE. TO ENSURE
WE HAVE PARODY AND ALL LEVELS OF
SOCIETY. WOMEN ARE VARYING
CULTURES, CLASS AND ETHNIC
BACKGROUNDS HAVE PARTICIPATED IN
THE FOUNDING AND BUILDING OF OUR
STATE AND NATION. THEY HAVE MADE
HISTORIC CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE
GROWTH AND STRENGTH OF OUR
NATION STATE AND PLAYED A
CRITICAL ROLE IN SHAPING THE
ECONOMIC CULTURAL AND SOCIAL
FABRIC OF OUR SOCIETY. WOMEN
HAVE BEEN LEADERS IN EVERY
MOVEMENT OF SOCIAL CHANGE.
INCLUDING THEIR OWN MOVEMENT FOR
SUFFRAGE. AND EQUAL RIGHTS. IT
HAS BEEN JUST OVER 100 YEARS
SINCE WOMEN WON THE RIGHT TO
VOTE. AND TO SERVICE IN OFFICE.
IN 1918, THE FIRST FOUR WOMEN,
ELIZABETH HUGHES AND SAILOR ESTÁ
RAG N N. AND GRACE DORIS WERE
ELECTED TO THE STATES AND
ASSEMBLY. IT TOOK ANOTHER HALF
CENTURY AFTER THAT, TO ELECT THE
FIRST BLACK AND ÁP WOMEN TO THE
CALIFORNIA STATE ASSEMBLY,
YVONNE BURKE AND MARCH FOLLOWING
YOU AND JUST 40 YEARS AGO, THE
FIRST LATINA GLORIA MOLINA WAS
ELECTED TO THE STATE ASSEMBLY.
TODAY OUR STATE LEGISLATIVE
SLATER LOOKS A LITTLE MORE LIKE
THE GREAT STATE WE COLLECTIVELY
REPRESENT. WE ARE 50 WOMEN
STRONG IN THE LEGISLATURE. AND A
VERY DIVERSE GROUP. 32 OF THOSE
WOMEN ARE HERE IN OUR OWN HOUSE.
I AM PROUD. I AM SO PROUD OF THE
WORK WE HAVE DONE TO GET HERE.
100 YEARS SINCE THE FIRST WOMAN
WERE ELECTED TO THE STATE
LEGISLATURE. OUR CURRENT WOMEN'S
CAUCUS MEMBERS CONTINUE TO MAKE
HISTORY. AND BREAK GLASS
CEILINGS. AND WE ARE UNITED IN
WORKING TOGETHER TOWARDS PUTTING
AN INTO PHYSICAL AND SEXUAL
VIOLENCE. DISCRIMINATION AND
HARASSMENT. AND EMPLOYMENT AND
EDUCATION. AND THE RELEGATION TO
POVERTY STATUS OF MANY WOMEN.
AND BY ADVOCATING FOR THE FULL
PARTICIPATION OF WOMEN WOMEN IN
EVERY AREA, WHETHER POLITICS
GOVERNMENT. BUSINESS SCIENCE,
TECHNOLOGY OR ACADEMIA, AS WELL
AS EQUAL ACCESS TO ALL OF THE
OPPORTUNITIES THIS GREAT NATION
HAS TO OFFER. THANK YOU MEMBERS
. I THINK ALL THE GUESTS HERE
TODAY. IT'S SO NICE TO SEE HOW
MANY GLASS CEILINGS WERE
BREAKING. UM I REQUEST THAT THE
FIRST ROLL CALL BE OPEN FOR CO
AUTHORS AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR YOUR VOTE ON HR. 17. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
AGUIAR-CURRY. MISS WILSON,
YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. MADAM CHAIR
AND MEMBERS AS THE CHAIR OF THE
CALIFORNIA LEGISLATIVE BLACK
CAUCUS. I HUMBLY RISE IN FRONT
OF THIS GREAT BODY AND STRONG
SUPPORT FOR HR 17 RELATIVE TO
WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH. WOMEN ARE
AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE STATE
AND COUNTRY FROM MOBILIZING AND
ORGANIZING CAMPAIGNS FOR THE
RIGHT TO VOTE. TO HOLDING
LEADERSHIP POSITIONS AND ALL
LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT TO RAISING
THE NEXT GENERATION OF LEADERS.
WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH IS AN
OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE BRINGING
AWARENESS TO THE HISTORICAL ROLE
WOMEN FROM ALL BACKGROUNDS HAVE
MADE IN CALIFORNIA AND THE
NATION AS CHAIR OF THE
CALIFORNIA LEGISLATIVE BLACK
CAUCUS. I WANT TO SHED LIGHT ON
THE INVALUABLE CONTRIBUTIONS
THAT BLACK WOMEN HAVE AND
CONTINUE TO MAKE. SINCE THE
FOUNDING OF THIS COUNTRY BLACK
WOMEN'S WORDS, ACTIONS AND
ACHIEVEMENTS HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO
THE CULTURE, SUCCESS AND
PROSPERITY OF AMERICAN SOCIETY
TODAY. THROUGHOUT HISTORY OFTEN
DISREGARDS THEIR INVOLVEMENT.
BLACK WOMEN WERE KEY
CONTRIBUTORS AND LEADERS IN
EVERY MOVEMENT FOR SOCIAL CHANGE
, INCLUDING THE FIGHT FOR
EMANCIPATION, EMANCIPATION,
WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE, CIVIL RIGHTS
AND LGBT Q RIGHTS AMONG MANY
OTHERS. HISTORICALLY BLACK WOMEN
HAVE ALSO BEEN AT THE FOREFRONT
OF DEMOCRACY IN THIS COUNTRY.
BLACK WOMEN HAVE AND CONTINUE TO
DO THE WORK NEEDED TO ENSURE
THAT WE CAN ALL THRIVE IN A MORE
UNIFIED SOCIETY. WE CANNOT
AFFORD TO TAKE THE CONTRIBUTIONS
AND SACRIFICES MADE BY THESE
WOMEN FOR GRANTED. BLACK WOMEN
IN THIS STATE AND NATION STILL
FACE PERSISTENT BARRIERS TO
ACCESSING ECONOMIC SECURITY.
PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH CARE
AND EQUITABLE REPRESENTATION IN
GOVERNMENT. THESE DISPARITIES
HAVE WIDENED DURING THE
PANDEMIC. BLACK WOMEN ARE STILL
TWICE AS LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE
SEVERE MATERNAL MORBIDITY AND
ARE TWICE AS LIKELY TO HAVE AN
INFANT WHO DIES BY THEIR FIRST
BIRTHDAY. COMPARED TO THEIR
WHITE COUNTERPART. BLACK WOMEN
STILL EARN ONLY 62 CENTS FOR THE
EACH DOLLAR COMPARED TO THEIR
WHITE MALE COUNTERPARTS. BLACK
WOMEN ARE SHOULDERING THE
INCREASED RESPONSIBILITIES OF
CARING FOR THEIR HOUSEHOLDS,
ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL
WOMEN'S LAW CENTER, 76.8% OF
WORKING MOTHERS WORK FULL TIME,
AND MANY ARE THE SOLE OR PRIMARY
BREADWINNER FOR THEIR FAMILIES.
IN ORDER TO MEET THE NEEDS OF
BLACK WOMEN. WE MUST ACKNOWLEDGE
THE EFFECT RACIAL AND GENDER
OPPRESSION IS HAVING ON THEIR
LIVES. THE WELL BEING OF BLACK
WOMEN IS INTEGRAL TO THEIR
FAMILIES, THEIR COMMUNITY TO OUR
STATE AND TO OUR NATION AS A
WHOLE. MEMBERS AND HONOR OF
WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH. LET US
NOT ONLY SUPPORT THIS MEASURE
TODAY, BUT ALSO REMAINED
PERSISTENT AND VIGILANT TO ALL
WOMEN'S ISSUES. WE HAVE A MORAL
OBLIGATION TO PROMOTE EQUITY AND
EQUALITY FOR ALL. ON BEHALF OF
THE CALIFORNIA LEGISLATIVE BLACK
CAUCUS. I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
AN I VOTE ON HR 17. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
WILSON ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S ADDIS,
YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU,
MADAM CHAIR. COLLEAGUES I RISE
TODAY ON BEHALF OF THE JEWISH
CAUCUS IN SUPPORT OF HR 17 AND
WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH. THE
JEWISH CAUCUS IS PROUD TO
RECOGNIZE THE STRONG LEADERSHIP
AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF WOMEN IN
CALIFORNIA IN THE UNITED STATES
AND THROUGHOUT THE JEWISH
COMMUNITY. JEWISH WOMEN HAVE
BEEN LEADERS IN ALLIES IN THE
FIGHT FOR JUSTICE FOR THOUSANDS
OF YEARS, AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE
LOOK WITH ADORATION AND RESPECT
TO THE MATRIARCHS WHO BUILT UP
THE JEWISH PEOPLE. SARAH REBECCA
, RACHEL AND LEAH. IN MORE
RECENT TIMES, JEWISH WOMEN HAVE
STOOD COURAGEOUSLY FOR WOMEN'S
RIGHTS, CIVIL RIGHTS AND SOCIAL
JUSTICE. AND TODAY WE HAVE
PLEADED EXCUSE ME. AND TODAY WE
UPLIFT LEADERS AMONG OUR RANKS
SUCH AS EMMA LAZARUS, WHO WROTE
SOME OF OUR NATION'S MOST SACRED
WORDS DISPLAYED ON THE STATUE OF
LIBERTY. GIVE ME YOUR TIRED YOUR
POOR, YOUR HUDDLED MASSES
YEARNING TO BE FREE. JUSTICE
RUTH BADER GINSBURG, THE FIRST
FEMALE JEWISH SUPREME COURT
JUSTICE, A TIRELESS DEFENDER OF
EQUAL RIGHTS AND REPRODUCTIVE
CHOICE WHO IS ALSO THE FIRST
JUSTICE TO PERFORM A SAME SEX
MARRIAGE IN 2013. NAOMI WATLER,
ANTI GUN VIOLENCE ACTIVIST WHO
WAS 11 YEARS OLD WHEN SHE SPOKE
AGAINST THE HORRENDOUS EFFECTS
OF GUN VIOLENCE ON WOMEN OF
COLOR AT THE 2018 MARCH FOR OUR
LIVES, SAYING PEOPLE HAVE SAID
THAT I AM TOO YOUNG TO HAVE
THESE THOUGHTS ON MY OWN. IT'S
NOT TRUE. MY FRIENDS AND I MIGHT
STILL BE AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
AND WE MIGHT STILL BUT WE KNOW
WE KNOW LIFE ISN'T EQUAL FOR
EVERYONE, AND WE KNOW WHAT IS
RIGHT AND WHAT IS WRONG. AND
RABBI ANGELA BOOK DOLL, THE
FIRST WOMAN TO LEAD THE CENTRAL
SYNAGOGUE IN NEW YORK CITY AND
THE FIRST ASIAN AMERICAN TV YOUR
DAY AND A RABBI IN NORTH
AMERICA. A TRUE TRAILBLAZER WHO
HAS WORKED TO CREATE A MORE
INCLUSIVE JEWISH COMMUNITY. AND
FINALLY A GIANT IN HER OWN RIGHT
, SENATOR DIANNE FEINSTEIN, WHO
BECAME THE FIRST JEWISH SENATOR
IN THE UNITED STATES IN 1992.
AND SENATOR FEINSTEIN IS THE
LONGEST SERVING WOMEN'S SENATOR
IN U. S HISTORY. SENATOR
FEINSTEIN WAS THE FIRST JEWISH
PERSON TO GRADUATE FROM HER HIGH
SCHOOL IN SAN FRANCISCO AND
SERVED AS VICE PRESIDENT OF HER
CLASS AT STANFORD UNIVERSITY IN
THE 19 FIFTIES AT A TIME WHEN
JEWISH PEOPLE AND WOMEN FACED
IMMENSE BARRIERS AND WERE VASTLY
UNDERREPRESENTED AND HIGHER
EDUCATION. SO IN THE WAKE OF HER
RETIREMENT ANNOUNCEMENT. WE
THANK SENATOR FEINSTEIN FOR
BEING A CHAMPION FOR A GREAT
STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND A
CHAMPION FOR ALL AMERICANS. HERE
IN CALIFORNIA AND IN COMMUNITIES
ACROSS THE NATION. JEWISH WOMEN
HAVE ALWAYS BEEN LEADERS AND
ALLIES IN THE FIGHT FOR JUSTICE
, INCLUSION AND THE END TO
OPPRESSION. SO IN THAT SPIRIT
AND ON BEHALF OF THE JEWISH
CAUCUS, I RESPECTFULLY URGE YOUR
SUPPORT FOR THIS RESOLUTION.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S AT ITS
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S CERVANTES,
YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU,
MADAM SPEAKER AND MEMBERS. TODAY
I PROUDLY RISE ON BEHALF OF THE
LGBTQ CAUCUS AND ON BEHALF OF
THE LATINO CAUCUS SUPPORTING HR
17, PROCLAIMING MARCH 2023 AS
WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH.
THROUGHOUT HISTORY, WOMEN HAVE
MADE INVALUABLE CONTRIBUTIONS
TOWARDS SHAPING THE CULTURAL
MAKE UP OF CALIFORNIA AND THE
UNITED STATES. THE LATINO CAUCUS
IS COMPRISED OF 38 MEMBERS, 21
LATINA, A RECORD NUMBER. WE ARE
NOW A MAJORITY LATINA CAUCUS ARE
. IN FACT, AS CHAIR OF THE
LATINO LEGISLATIVE CAUCUS, WE
HAVE NOW HELD THREE TERMS OF
CONSECUTIVE LATINAS LEADING THE
LATINO CAUCUSES, CHAIRS ARE
PROGRESS HAS ONLY OCCURRED
BECAUSE OF GROUNDBREAKING AND
TRAILBLAZING LEADERS LIKE FORMER
ASSEMBLY MEMBER GLORIA MOLINA,
THE FIRST LATINO ELECTED TO THE
LEGISLATURE IN 1982. AS A LATINA
AS A DAUGHTER OF A MEXICAN
IMMIGRANT. I AM PROUD TO BE PART
OF THIS GROWING NUMBER OF
LEGISLATORS. WE ARE TREMENDOUSLY
IN DEBT TO ALL THE WOMEN WHO
HAVE COME BEFORE US. OPEN DOORS
SACRIFICED SO MUCH AND CONTINUE
TO AS WE CONTINUE TO BREAK GLASS
CEILINGS. OTHER WOMEN OF COLOR
HAVE HISTORICALLY BEEN HIDDEN
AND EXCLUDED FROM HISTORY, BOOKS
AND HEADLINES. WE HAVE MADE
TREMENDOUS GROWTH. AS WE
CONTINUE TO LIKE MORE LATINAS
INTO OFFICE AS WE CONTINUE TO
GET MORE LATINOS INTO COLLEGE
AND BECOMING PROFESSIONALS AND
AS WE CONTINUE TO HAVE MORE
LATINOS OPEN UP SMALL BUSINESSES
AND BECOME SPUN BUSINESS OWNERS.
THEY ARE ACTUALLY THE FASTEST
GROWING SEGMENT OF OUR BUSINESS
COMMUNITY. LATINO SMALL BUSINESS
OWNERS. AND AS A MEMBER OF THE
LGBTQ COMMUNITY, WE SHOULD ALSO
CELEBRATE THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF
THE L G B T Q. WOMEN WHO HAVE
MOVED THE NEEDLE FOR PROGRESS.
FOR OUR NEXT GENERATION THROUGH
THEIR ACTIVISM, SHOWING UP
UNAPOLOGETICALLY EVERY SINGLE
DAY IN THE FACE OF RACISM AND
ANTI LGBT Q RHETORIC. WE MUST
CONTINUE TO HONOR INDIVIDUALS
WHO HAVE PAVED THE WAY FOR LGBTQ
RIGHTS, SUCH AS PROMINENT LGBTQ
WOMEN LEADERS SUCH AS SYLVIA
RIVERA, WHO WAS A QUEER LATINA
WHO FOUGHT TIRELESSLY FOR
TRANSGENDER RIGHTS. AS WELL. AS
FOR MARSHA P. JOHNSON WHO WAS
ONE OF THE PROMINENT FIGURES OF
THE GAY RIGHTS MOVEMENT AND AN
IMPORTANT IMPORTANT ADVOCATE FOR
HOMELESS LGBTQ YOUTH AND
TRANSGENDER RIGHTS. WE MUST NOT
ERASE OR EXCLUDE QUEER TRANS
THEM FROM WOMEN'S HISTORY.
ESPECIALLY DURING A TIME WHEN
LIVES HAVE BEEN LOST TO ANTI
CHEN TRANSGENDER VIOLENCE OF
TRANS WOMEN OF COLOR AND THE
DEEP POVERTY AMONG QUEER AND
TRANS WOMEN. THERE ARE SO MUCH
WORK LEFT TO BE DONE. BRINGING
ATTENTION TO THESE REMARKABLE
WOMEN'S COUNTLESS ACHIEVEMENTS.
AND HISTORICAL ROLES WILL
INSPIRE GENERATIONS TO COME TO
CREATE THE FUTURE THAT THEY WANT
TO SEE BY WORKING TOWARDS AN
EQUITABLE AND JUST SOCIETY FOR
ALL A. WE ALWAYS ACKNOWLEDGE AND
CELEBRATE THE LIVELIHOOD AND
ACHIEVEMENTS OF THESE WOMEN,
TRAILBLAZING LATINA WOMEN AND
WOMEN IN OUR LGBTQ COMMUNITY.

ONES TO HAVE STERILIZATION
POLICIES AND MINISTERED AGAINST
THEM. STILL THAT RESILIENCY RUNS
STRONG WITHIN OUR NATIVE

GRANDMOTHER, MARTHA MANUAL
CHIKANE FROM THE SALMON, WHILE
INDIAN RESERVATION WORKED HARD
TO ENSURE THAT WE GOT CLEAN
DRINKING WATER IN THE SEVENTIES

WORKED HARD TO ENSURE THAT THAT
VOICE WAS THERE. AND JUST LIKE
MANY OF THE STORIES, MANY OF
THOSE THAT ARE BEING HONORED
HERE TODAY, WOMEN HAD LED THE
AREAS FOR ALL OF US TO BE HERE
TODAY. SO MUCH SO THAT THE
RESILIENCY OF CALIFORNIA'S FIRST

TAKE A MOMENT TO SHARE A
PERSONAL STORY. UM, IN THIRD

THE REASON I DIDN'T WIN. I
WASN'T BECAUSE THERE'S SOMETHING
I COULD HAVE DONE BETTER. IT'S
BECAUSE I'M A GIRL. THAT'S WHY I

ELECTION WENT. I'M LIKE GRANDMA
LOST, BUT IT'S OKAY. GUESS WHAT
