Online event
Join NOW and special guests in a town hall event to discuss how women are an important part of this country's infrastructure systems.
Infrastructure supports how our society functions and enhances our standard of living. When we think of infrastructure, we often think about things like bridges, roads, and power grids. But infrastructure is much more than that. It’s access to public health services, paid family leave, and even affordable childcare. And it’s a feminist issue.
We need to put women at the forefront of the conversation when it comes to infrastructure. Women, especially women of color, are the ones who have been most affected by the failures of our infrastructure systems. They’re also the ones who have the experiences and knowledge to come up with the solutions to fix it.
When: Wednesday, September 22 @ 3:30 PM PT (6:30 PM ET)
Where: Online via Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_BZ_UOi4LRsCeKibjr09Mxg

National NOW President Christian F. Nunes will engage in a discussion with special guests including:
--Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner, Executive Director and CEO/Co-founder, MomsRising
--Ai-jen Poo, Executive Director and Co-founder, National Domestic Workers Alliance
--James Fukuda, New Jersey State Director, LULAC (League of United
Latin American Citizens)
--Amy Hinosojas, Presiden and CEO of Mana International
