"Activate 3.8" The Pay Equity Tour

Join Us for the Launch of "Activate 3.8: The Pay Equity Tour"

Washington state is among the worst in the nation for the gender pay gap, a reality that stunts our state’s economy and opportunities for 3.8 million women. Unless we see significant change, these challenges will continue to limit future generations of girls.

The Washington State Women’s Commission is on a mission to work towards this necessary change by bringing together state agencies and legislators with business, labor and academia to co-create solutions that enhance equity and opportunity at every stage of a woman’s career.

Join us as we launch Activate 3.8, a statewide campaign, and hear how women and families have been impacted by the wage gap, and from the leaders who are seeking change.

WHEN: Friday June 28, 11am-2pm (Speaker Program 11:45am-12:45pm)

WHERE: Nectar Lounge, 412 N 36th St, Seattle, WA 98103

WHAT: Activate 3.8 Campaign Launch features powerhouse speakers with expertise and influence to uplift, empower, and protect Washington’s women.
