Vision & Values

We ground ourselves in the lived experience of women and families

We strive to support those who face the greatest barriers to equity and opportunity, and we seek to amplify the leadership of grassroots groups and women of color who are fighting for social justice.

Our Mission

To improve the lives of women and families by achieving equality for all women.

Our Vision

A just and equitable society in which all women and families can live with dignity, respect and security; every person has the opportunity to achieve their potential; and no person is held back by discrimination or bias.

Our Values

We strive to live these values in our daily work. They guide our advocacy and interactions with the outside world and they shape our internal culture and the ways we work with each other.
