When Women Succeed, America Succeeds: Why We Need a Women's Economic Agenda
September 23, 2014 - 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM ET
Increasing the economic security of women and their families is not only critical, but is the subject of several bills in Congress and parallel efforts in state legislatures across the country. In an election year in which the women's vote may be an important determinant of the results, a women's economic agenda has particular saliency.
Come learn about the importance of this agenda and its critical components, including:
The Paycheck Fairness Act to deter wage discrimination by closing loopholes in the Equal Pay Act and barring retaliation against workers who disclose their wages to coworkers.
The Strong Start for America's Children Act to fund high-quality early childhood education programs, which have been demonstrated to provide a huge return on investment.
The Fair Minimum Wage Act to help close the gender wage gap and increase pay for more than 15 million working women.
* Featuring Nancy Duff Campbell, Co-President, National Women's Law Center and 2014 Visiting Social Activist, Center for the Education of Women
