The following day, marking Women’s Equality Day, Espaillat commemorated the anniversary of women’s suffrage in the United States. He wrote on August 27: “105 years ago, the 19th Amendment became part of the Constitution and American women could finally vote across the country. On Women’s Equality Day, we continue the fight for equality for women in every area of life.”
Later that same day, Espaillat addressed concerns regarding federal policy and its impact on Hispanic communities. He posted: “The Trump Administration is doing everything it can to attack Hispanic communities across the nation from every angle possible. We will not sit idly by.”
