WomenACT: Our Power Unleashed Dear Friends: After a century of hard work, women are still struggling to achieve fair pay and advancement, family-friendly work environments, retirement security and business growth. But now, a transformative paradigm of opportunity has emerged. American women: • Hold the majority vote in America representing nearly 52% of registered votes • Own nearly 1/3rd of U.S. businesses, 17 million • Control two-thirds of all U.S. consumer spending • Comprise 46.9% of the U.S. labor force • Are the sole or primary source of income in 40% of all households with children To seize this moment of opportunity, focus our clout and finally push past the tipping point to real influence, the U.S. Women’s Chamber of Commerce has launched WomenACT. THE CONCEPT IS SIMPLE: By effectively focusing our leadership, political giving, votes and purchasing power — we will push past the tipping point and finally breakthrough the status quo. With women’s focused leadership at all levels of government and business, we will achieve: greater economic security, opportunity and advancement; family-friendly work environments; women-owned business growth; retirement security; equal rights; and human rights. Women-led. Progress for all. Step-up now and be part of WomenACT. Acting together, we WILL change the world. Women-Led. Progress for all.
