Powerful Women Leaders
Florida Congresswoman Lois Frankel
“The women’s economic agenda, when you think about it, is common sense. Equal pay, why is anyone against it? Affordable and quality childcare, so people can work and make sure their kids are safe, retirement security, access to healthcare. These are concepts Republicans in Congress are not embracing. One thing I’ve learned over time is that, if these are important values and ideas, you’ve got to keep beating that drum, because if you don’t, it will never happen. Beat the drum and one day we will be back in a position in Congress where we’ll get it done.”
Help make Congress 50% women by 2050.
