SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — Winning the Oscar for actress in a supporting role, Arquette’s acceptance speech set Twitter on fire.
“To every woman who gave birth to every tax payer and citizen of this nation, we have fought for everybody else’s equal rights. It’s our time to have wage equality once and for all and equal rights for women in the United States of America.”
