Women’s Economic Agenda Bus Tour

The momentum behind the Women’s Equality Agenda just got a new set of wheels. Led by House Leader Pelosi, women members of Congress are on a bus tour promoting policy changes that would benefit women and working families. Lisa M. Maatz, AAUW’s VP for Government Relations, is along for the ride!

You can follow the bus’ progress by following Lisa Maatz on Twitter at @LisaMaatz (you don’t have to join Twitter to read her Tweets). You can also check out @WomenSucceed or the Women Succeed hashtag (#WomenSucceed). To follow the bus on Facebook, visit www.facebook.com/WomenSucceed.

Women’s Workforce Bill Needs Your Support

 NEW YORK WOMEN NEED GOOD JOBS!

IT IS THE END OF SESSION AND WE NEED YOUR HELP!

EMAIL YOUR NEW YORK POLICYMAKERS TODAY!

 
In the next few days the NYS Assembly and the NYS Senate will vote on the Women’s Workforce Bill (A.9020b/S.6429a)

This legislation will help close the gender wage gap in NY by improving the information and services women receive from New York’s workforce development system. People will now have information on the gender wage gap and a better understanding about higher paying jobs and the level of wages they need to make to support their families.   And, Democratic Assembly member Ellen Jaffee and Republican Senator Joe Robach are the sponsors showing bi-partisan support.
