Our Priority Issues

Education

Removing Bias from Education

Startling inequalities persist in American education. Gender, economics, race and ethnicity should not limit our opportunities.

Gender-Equity

Fighting for Fair Pay & Economic Equity

It’s time to close the pay gap and for the work world to embrace diversity, equity and inclusion so we can all thrive.

Briefcase

Advancing Women in Leadership

Women make up more than half of college graduates and half of the labor force. But we’re still not represented at the upper levels. We need equal representation.
