A Roadmap to Create Inclusive Gender Justice in NY: Building an Equitable Recovery in the Wake of COVID-19

Roadmap_Pages
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has disproportionately affected women, especially low-income workers and BIPOC women, PowHerNY brought organizations together to develop a response. Through a robust process, over the course of more than four months, 50 groups and experts crafted a Vision for inclusive gender justice and identified eight key areas and policy recommendations to achieve this transformation. These are certainly not all the issues New York must address, but the ones identified as critical to our community.  > Learn More

PowHer The Vote 2017

 PowHer the Vote 2017 focuses on how local laws and policies affect women’s lives. Through weekly actions and blog posts we engage and educate (potential) voters and raise the volume on key agenda issues. As you well know, Mayors, City Councils and other municipal officials can forward or thwart our issues, but less than 25% of eligible voters participate in choosing these elected officials. Yet, so many recent events, federal roll-backs and new, disturbing policies have made what happens locally even more important. We need more New Yorkers speak out for progressive values…with their votes! > Learn More
