Our mission at the National Partnership to make concrete improvements in the lives of women and families is not contingent on any one candidate or any one election. We are squarely focused on pursuing the policies that women say they want and need and the policies that can make their lives better, help them navigate work-family conflicts, access reproductive health care, become economically stable, and secure fair pay.
Memo Re: The 2024 Election: Women and Family Issues on the Ballot
Across the country women are heading to the polls to vote in one of the most pivotal elections of our time. In addition to voting for candidates, voters will also weigh in on critical ballot initiatives that may expand access to abortion and access to paid sick leave. In the midst of this, we are seeing continued attacks on our democracy and the right to vote – an issue that we know is deeply connected to women’s ability to have equity in all aspects of our lives.
