@POWHERLIST CAMPAIGN  On Women’s Equality Day, NYS PowHER is launching the #POWHERLIST Campaign to spotlight the need for increased economic opportunity and fairness for New York women and families.

The #POWHERLIST  proposes a dozen issues that must be addressed to create economic equality including: Fair wages ∙ Retirement Security ▪ Better Job Opportunities ▪ Affordable Education ▪ Safe, Family Friendly Workplaces ▪ Flexible Schedules ▪ Childcare ▪ Reproductive Options ▪ Close the Wage Gap ▪ Caregiver’s pay ▪ Access to Capital ▪ Women’s Voices at the Table.

Tell us your priorities and ask electoral candidates “WHAT’s ON YOUR LIST?” to create economic equality! Public responses, background information, and campaign activities will be shared online at www.NYSPowHER.org

Weekly until Election Day, WOMEN’S EQUALITY WEDNESDAYs will feature online live conversations with YOU, experts and New Yorkers experiencing discrimination about #POWHERLIST topics and New York solutions.
