Ms. Foundation Celebrates Sotomayor Confirmation

The Ms. Foundation for Women celebrates the historic confirmation of Judge Sonia Sotomayor as the next Associate Justice on the Supreme Court, truly a defining moment for the nation. In particular, we commend the leadership of both President Obama and the U.S. Senate in increasing the diversity of our nation’s highest court. We believe that Judge Sotomayor’s life story, her deep involvement in her community, and her strong commitment to public service will inspire countless young women of color across the country to fulfill their aspirations and reach their dreams.

Outrageous Act: Be an Online Outrageous Activist

Jessica Gonzalez-Rojas, deputy director of Ms. Foundation grantee the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health asks you to sign up for NLIRH’s e-alerts and become an online activist.

You can also learn how to join NLIRH’s campaign to repeal the Hyde Amendment, which has banned federal funding for abortions for over 30 years, and has been at risk of being cemented and expandedby conservatives in recent health care reform debates. (See our recent blog posting and this AP story on the issue.)
