"We are delighted that the legislation we fought so hard to get introduced all those years ago finally passed the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate on a bi-partisan basis as part of the COVID relief/omnibus appropriations package. 

We strongly support this bill, but we also understand the reality that the timeline is uncertain and the bill still needs to be funded. We remain laser-focused, as we have been for the past 25 years, on the urgency of representation—of sharing women’s stories and celebrating their contributions to our national narrative. We’ve long championed the creation of a space that captures and communicates the breadth and depth of women’s experiences and accomplishments, and this space is long overdue. We remain committed to having our own museum now."
