Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez praises rep’s emotional Equality Act speech: “Bravery is the courage to be vulnerable”
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez lauded her colleague Representative Pramila Jayapal for showing emotion while sharing a personal story during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on the Equality Act.
“To me, bravery is the courage to be vulnerable in front of the world. &Strength can be finding the power in your tears. @RepJayapal, you were all power today.” “My beautiful now 22-year-old child told me last year that they are gender non-conforming. And over the last year I have come to understand from a deeply personal mother's perspective—I've always been a civil rights activist. I've always fought for my constituents and communities to have equal rights.
“Since this deeply impactful moment last year, my child's embracing of their non-conforming gender identity and all that it has allowed, all that it allows in terms of their creativity, their brilliance, their self-expression.
