YWomenVote 2020 Road Show: A Conversation with America’s Women

Women in New Hampshire Urge the Nation’s Leaders to Take Action on Paid Family Leave

YWCA USA recently released the results of its third bipartisan, national survey of 1,200 women which provides a comprehensive examination of women’s economic, health, gender-based violence, workplace equity, and racial justice concerns and priorities. To ensure that women’s voices and priorities are heard in the 2020 election, YWCA is launching a national road show, beginning in New Hampshire, to provide a platform for women to voice their concerns to the nation’s leaders and encourage them to take action on issues that directly impact them.

The New Hampshire event will include a diverse panel of speakers who will lead a robust discussion on economic and workplace fairness issues such as paid family and medical leave and other survey findings. The panel will also discuss efforts to ensure that the voices and concerns of women of color in communities across New Hampshire are also at the forefront during the upcoming election season. This event is part of YWCA’s largest-ever civic engagement initiative to empower the nation’s women and engage ten million women through non-partisan voter registration and mobilization; connecting women to the Census, to ensure all women and their families are counted; issue education; advocacy; and women’s leadership development.
