“We clear a woman’s way,

We don’t fear the day
She steps into the light
Because we are with her
Every step of the fight.

There’s a lot at stake,

but making a difference always takes great courage.

So we encourage women who dare to stare
fear square in its face,

Women who’ve always shown,

That when one woman stands up,

She is never alone.

We know that when she steps up to right a wrong,
She will fight to bring others along.”

• Amanda Gorman
