There is still time to RSVP for Sunday's “When Women Succeed, America Succeeds Forum” on what the democratic economic agenda means for women and families in Louisiana. The event will feature remarks from myself, U.S. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, and first-hand accounts from Louisiana 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 our nation’s economy.

Please join us on September 21, 2014 at LBC 213-Kendall Cram Lecture Hall Lavin-Bernick Center on the campus of Tulane University. The forum will begin at 3:00 PM.
