Now more than ever, we look to our elected leaders to address the ways that injustice in both health care and economic opportunity harm us and restrict our ability to participate in society and live to our full potential.
The National Partnership for Women & Families stands ready to work with Congress to advance the wellbeing of women and families. We provide the resources below to demonstrate how policymakers can bend the moral arc toward justice, fairness, and inclusivity and to enable women of every race, ethnicity, and national origin, religion, immigration status, income level, family status, disability status, sexual orientation and gender identity to prosper.
Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions, and we look forward to working together in the 117th Congress to advance our shared priorities.
