In November, we gathered nearly 300 women and families in Seattle to hear from House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, local members of Congress and local advocates on strengthening women’s economic security.
On January 29th, the Economic Opportunity Institute, our allies, and champions in Congress invite you to join an unprecedented national conversation with Nancy Pelosi and Lilly Ledbetter – moderated by actor Cynthia Nixon – about these issues and the changes that will advance income equality and economic security for women and families in America.
There’s still time to sign up! Can you make it? Here are the details:
