WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congressman Jesús “Chuy” García issued the following statement on the passing of Gloria Steinem:
“Gloria Steinem was not just a journalist, activist, organizer — she was a force of nature and a change-maker. As a towering icon of the women’s movement, she dedicated her life to raise awareness, educate and fight for reproductive rights, equality in the workplace and at home, and to end violence against women.
Congressman Jesús “Chuy” García (IL-04) participated in the Third Panamerican Congress that took place from Friday, Aug. 21, through Sunday, Aug. 23.
