2020 candidate Elizabeth Warren spoke before thousands of people gathered in Washington Square Park in New York City: 'Democrats can’t win if we're scared and looking backward.' 'We win when we meet the moment. We win when we stand up for what is right.'
Presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren spoke before thousands of people gathered in Washington Square Park in New York on Monday evening, using a pivotal moment of her campaign to paint a vivid and at times gruesome picture of corruption -- and the history of women, specifically, who have fought back.
Warren used the moment to focus on the tale of"one of the worst industrial disasters in American history," the Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire that killed 146 women in 1911, just blocks from the park where Warren spoke, and described in painstaking detail the"sickening thud" of bodies that hit the ground as women jumped from windows of the factory, realizing they’d been locked in"by bosses afraid that the workers might steal scraps of cloth.
