Brooklyn DA’s office honors four for Women’s History Month
Linda Sarsour, Women’s March Organizers Among Honorees
The Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office, along with the Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association, honored four women, including the three women who helped to organize the Women’s March on Washington, during a ceremony for Women’s History Month in Brooklyn Heights on Tuesday.
“My mother was a single parent for much of my life, and my ability to be here today is a credit to the hard work, determination and investment that she made in me,” said Acting DA Eric Gonzalez, who noted that more than half of the assistant district attorneys in Brooklyn are women.
“I know that many of us — whether it’s your mother, wife, sibling, friend or colleague — have women in your lives who provide knowledge, support and leadership that allows us to be as accomplished as we are.”
