PowHer the Vote 2020
Equal Pay Campaign
PowHerNY’s signature project, the Equal Pay Campaign, represents a thirty-year fight to reform New York’s equal pay laws and policies. Our statewide network of more than 100 civic groups, in coordination with other state and national coalitions, is proud to have been the driving force in the passage of the 2015 NYS Equal Pay Law (A6075/S1) part of the Women’s Equality Act, the NYC Salary History Ban, Women’s Workforce Law and NYS and NYC Executive Orders address wage disparity. > Learn More

PowHer The Vote 2018
To educate and engage New Yorkers and ensure candidates know that we are watching and expect answers and action on issues that affect our lives, the PowHer New York Network of 100+ groups is sponsoring a non-partisan election season campaign.

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
PowHer The Vote 2016
