Rep. Edwards, Sen. Barbara Mikulski, and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi toured a child care center and hosted a forum on what “When Women Succeed, America Succeeds: An Economic Agenda for Women and Families” means for women and families in Maryland. The forum also featured first-hand accounts from Maryland women discussing their experiences fighting for affordable child care, equal pay, and a critical work-life family balance.

“When Women Succeed, America Succeeds…” is an actionable legislative agenda that recognizes the critical role women play in America’s workforce. Almost half of all workers are women and 40 percent of working women are the primary breadwinners in their families. The pay, child care and work-family balance policies are necessary to address the economic insecurities of American women and their families, while also providing a boost to the nation’s economy.
