We’ve closed the gap by two pennies since the ’90s. Two. Pennies. Don’t spend it all in one place.

The wage gap costs women $400K+ over a lifetime — and the loss of flexibility is pushing many out of the workforce altogether.

On Nov. 1. The SNAP Program will be halted due to the federal shutdown 🤦🏾‍♀️

41.7M people rely on SNAP each month—and 13.5% of U.S. households (18M) are food insecure.

455,000 women have left the workforce this year - the sharpest decline since 2021.

Not because they want to— because they can’t afford not to.

Childcare. Pay gaps. Caregiver overload.

#Democracy has a design problem.
For too long, women have been the moral backbone of democracy—the voters, volunteers, & validators who keep the system upright—but rarely its architects.
FFW spoke w/Erin Vilardi, Mũthoni Wambu Kraal, + EunSook Lee at @womenmovingmillions.org about what comes next...

Between January + August, nearly 500,000 women left the labor force-the most significant drop since the pandemic. Black women have been the most impacted. More than 300,000 have exited the workforce this year, accounting for more than half of the total number of exits. #WomenAtWork #shecession
