  • It's almost like we're being goaded into this," said Massachusetts state Sen. Dianne Wilkerson, during a press conference last week. "Almost every week in Washington, something goes on to make us need to protest. "This issue is about options that disproportionately affect women of color because of income and race," said Wilkerson.
