Breakthrough: Fair Access to Federal Contracts for Women-Owned Small Businesses
Join the campaign to end the discrimination in federal contracting with women-owned firms.
Year after year the federal government takes our tax dollars and spends our hard earned revenues without regard for the legal and moral obligation to award women-owned firms our fair share of federal contracts. Between FY 1995 - FY 2010, the total lost to women-owned firms due to the failure of the federal government to meet the 5% contracting goal is $89,926,788,994.
We're drawing the line in the sand today. It's time to end the discrimination against women in federal contracting.
