Advancing Women’s Economic Priorities

When we focus our power, we shape the world.

Women's Economic Priorities

A positive economic environment: Women need governmental policies, budgets and leadership that support us as students, workers, mothers, breadwinners, caregivers, business owners, retirees and policy leaders.
U.S. governmental leaders should support women’s economic security, prosperity, opportunity and mobility and leadership through fostering:

  • Job creation, full employment & GDP growth.

  • Family-friendly work environments that provide equal opportunity, advancement, human rights, fair pay, a living wage, personal safety.

  • Access to affordable, quality healthcare. 

  • Tax policies that support a strong middle class and do not provide unwarranted loopholes, privileges and giveaways to big business and elite influencers that drain and destabilize our economy. 

  • A safety net that supports economic security and mobility and strengthens our economy. 

  • Access to affordable, flexible and quality education. Affordable access to home ownership. 

  • Access to the tools that drive business creation and growth. 

  • Fair access to federal contracts including overseas opportunities. 

  • Retirement security. 

  • Women’s policy leadership.
