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.
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.
The National Partnership for Women & Families (NPWF) and the Nonprofit Professional Employees Union (NPEU), IFPTE Local 70, are proud to announce the ratification of their first collective bargaining agreement.

“The problems that contribute to expensive care are multifold and can be understood by taking a close look at how the market is funded, according to Jocelyn Frye, the president of the National Partnership for Women & Families, a nonprofit that works to improve lives.
‘It’s a perfect storm in terms of a number of things coming together,’ Frye told Fortune. ‘Families are struggling across the country, the costs are going up, the number of child-care workers has not yet rebounded fully from pre-pandemic numbers, the costs of operating child-care facilities are escalating and we don’t pay child-care workers themselves enough.'”
“I’m excited to welcome Jennifer to the National Partnership’s Board, and to have Shreya lead our Board as the new chair. Both are brilliant leaders, unafraid to blaze new trails and committed to the breadth of work needed to uplift women and working families while prioritizing equity.”
“‘To cut the number of counted disabled folks while we are experiencing this marked increase in disabled folks is pretty irresponsible, especially when so many long COVID patients are relying on support and services [and] grants that are funded to do research on all of these issues,’ Marissa Ditkowsky, the disability economic justice counsel at the National Partnership for Women and Families, told HuffPost in December.”
