What last year’s Rally helped accomplish…

An unprecedented attack on the rights of women stirred the hearts of many of us in 2012.

A national drive to bring attention to the “War on Women” was proof that it was a problem, and brought out not just women to vote – but women to run. Here we see the outcome, more women making decisions that affect women and their families and communities, their states, and their country.

Fair and equal

On April 9 we mark Equal Pay Day, a time for spurring the modernization of the Equal Pay Act. But let’s not stop there. Let’s also attack the problems of low-paid work and volatile scheduling that hold back millions of female workers…

More and more women don’t know how many hours they’ll be given to work week to week or when they’ll be required to report. They can’t predict their incomes, enroll in school or training or find workable child care arrangements.

Girl Rising

Do you believe that all girls should have the opportunity to go to school? Do you believe that educating girls around the world and allowing them to become leaders in their communities and countries will lead to positive changes for everyone?

Girl Rising tells the stories of 9 remarkable girls from around the world, who are striving beyond circumstance, pushing past limits and demonstrating the extraordinary strength of the human spirit to overcome the odds. Yet it also carries a powerful message: if we educate girls, we can change the future of some 66 million girls around the world who today only dream of going to school.

The film is produced by an Academy Award nominated director (Richard Robbins) and features the voices of Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Selena Gomez, Salma Hayek, Alicia Keys and others.

A portion of Girl Rising ticket sales will help fund programs for girls, so seeing the film will make a direct impact on girls’ lives.
