LiftGen Meets Senator Doug Jones

October 8, 2018

San Diego, CA - Thanks to LiftGen member Deanna Niño, Lifting Generation members were able to meet with Senator Doug Jones (D) of Alabama who won Jeff Sessions congressional seat when Sessions became US Attorney General.  We gained insight on what is happening in congress from Senator Jones' on the ground perspective.  Jones made it clear that we are indeed facing significant challenges to the rights of women and that change in leadership is needed.  He said that his desire to run for congress was spurred by watching the women's march.  We look forward to partnering with Jones to advocate for the rights of women in the United States.  We also learned that he has high hopes for the Mueller investigation to bring those who have broken the law to justice.
