Join the Revolution! Be part of the national teleconference and webinar for supporters and leaders on November 15th. Why do we need this now? FACT: The average annual sales of women-owned businesses in the U.S. has dropped 37% over the last 10 years. FACT: A woman in the U.S. is 45% more likely to be poor than a man. FACT: Current trends show it could take 40 years for women to achieve parity with men in corporate officer ranks. FACT: Women hold only 15.1% of the seats in the 109th U.S. Congress. Join the revolution.

Please register now.

What is it?
This is a movement for change. We are bringing together women and organizations from across the U.S. towards very specific goals aimed to making a real economic difference for women.

Why?
The statistics show us that women are still lagging behind in their business revenues, the career income and advancement, community leadership, and retirement preparation.

How can I take part?
There are many ways in which you can take part - as a local delegate working on one economic issue, as a member or a local organization supporting our efforts, or as a local leader helping us organize and outreach in your community. Join the revolution.
