Issue Position: Promote Women's Issues

Issue Position

It is time for the General Assembly to address the issues of sexual harassment, the codification of Roe vs. Wade, equal pay for equal work, and affordable childcare. Progress on these policies will improve the lives of women and families across the state. It is time for public and private employers to ensure that their workplaces are family-friendly so that women do not have to choose between making a professional contribution and caring for their children. When women are at the table -- whether it is the boardroom table, the General Assembly table, or the kitchen table -- their experiences and insights enhance the conversation, add important perspectives to the discussion and promote collaboration.
