GENDER JUSTICE WARRIORS: CREATING POWER AND CHANGE FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS
Everyone is talking about gender equality – from the NFL, campus assault reforms, and a possible woman President. Over the past few decades, the often tireless work of the women’s movement around the world has brought positive change. There has been a growing recognition that we cannot thrive if half the population is left out of education and work, or not included in decision-making. Laws have been introduced to recognize women’s right to safety in and outside the home, equal pay in the workplace and equality under the law, and there have been attitudinal changes towards women. But much work still remains. Join Carol Robles-Román, President and CEO of Legal Momentum and a highly sought after national speaker, to hear about how women – and men – are working to create a power shift in America today.

ADVOCATING FOR CHANGE AND ADVANCING YOUR MISSION
Do you want to educate opinion shapers and decision makers about the issues you care about? Do you want to work with those that share your values and goals? Do you and the people you work with have stories to share that sharpen the understanding of what is important in people’s lives? Advocacy can be a new and somewhat intimidating activity for people. But advocacy essentially is the process of actively supporting a cause that’s important to you. You have the knowledge, experience, and expertise that add value to the public dialogue. This lively webinar will underscore the critical role that public policy work can play in advancing your League’s Mission. It will provide a deeper understanding of the potential and options for advancing your work through public policy engagement. Together we will explore the responsibility that nonprofits have to serve as a resource to decision makers. We will examine a spectrum of policy work so that you can identify strategies that are the best fit for your League and what you work to achieve.
