Melinda French Gates: My Granddaughter Having Fewer Rights than I Had Because of the S.C. Makes Zero Sense

EXCERPT:

GATES: "First of all, we have to look at what actually happened in the last couple of years. Women’s rights globally and in the United States have been rolled back. Like, the fact that my granddaughter will have fewer rights right now because of the Supreme Court than I had makes zero sense to me.

(Applause)

So one of the things I’m doing is making sure that we have far more women running for office, being able to raise funds for their positions, and that they are really well-trained on the legislative agenda they want to help get passed. There’s 7,000 seats at the statehouse level, and getting women into those positions, they create great policy, and it’s a great training ground then to go onto the Hill in D.C."
