Some Tweets from Kirsten Gillibrand


  • I went to Georgia to stand with advocates, doctors, patients, and legislators against these horrific abortion bans. They have all different stories, but one big thing in common: They're brave. No matter how tough the fight.
  • "If anyone thinks that access to safe and legal abortion will not be front and center on the ballot next fall, they just aren't paying attention.”
  • Our service members' bravery and commitment to keeping our country safe inspires me every day. On , let's give them more than our gratitude—let's support them, keep them safe from sexual assault, and reject discrimination against anyone who serves our country.
  • I’m proud to stand with these women—and advocates and patients across the country—as we fight to defend reproductive freedom. We need you to join us in helping protect abortion access, and then we need you to vote like our rights depend on it. Because they do.

  • My favorite part of the campaign trail is exchanging our stories. I meet people who share so much of their lives, concerns, and dreams, and I get to listen and share my ideas in return. That’s the lifeblood of this campaign: our connection to each other.
  • The fact that it's still legal in most states to discriminate against LGBTQ Americans, in 2019, is sickening. The House did the right thing today by passing the and rejecting bigotry. The Senate should do the same.

  • Our rights are nonnegotiable, and we will fight for them—together.
  • As long as this fundamental injustice persists, we're failing too many children in our country. We must give all public schools and students the resources they need, and detach school funding from property taxes. A child’s success shouldn’t depend on which block they grew up on.

    . went to Georgia to talk with women there who fought the dangerous and demeaning abortion ban and hear how it will have such real impact on their lives. In a crisis, leaders listen and learn. Thank you KG.
