WA ratified the the Equal Right Act, guaranteeing equal rights for women, in 1973. Its addition to the Constitution is long overdue. We are one step closer thanks to the Judiciary Committee’s actions today. #ERANow

On #WomensEqualityDay we honor the women who fought for our right to vote, and recognize that Black, Native American, and Asian women did not gain that right in 1920 due to discrimination. Let’s celebrate all women who have fought for the right to vote.

Today is #BlackWomensEqualPayDay. Transparency and the ability to discuss pay at your work is important to addressing the #paygap.

More and more employers get it: allowing parents to bring their infants to work is a boost for the child, for the parents, and for team morale and retention. Congrats and thanks to @waDSHS and all our participating state agencies for supporting our working parents.

A report published by @MorganStanley on August 13 found that the stock prices of gender-diverse companies tend to outperform their less #diverse rivals. #WomenOnBoards #DiversityOnBoards ow.ly/sIsh50vyOKC

Gender-diverse companies outperform male-dominated rivals, Morgan Stanley finds

Organisations with a higher percentage of women in their workforce and boards typically see better share-price returns than their less diverse peers

This #InternationalWomensDay we remember the victories of discovery, innovations of science and humanitarian advancements that have been brought to us by great #WomenInHistory, but we also consider the many contributions from women that were never recorded or realized. #IWD2019

Honoring the contributions of women isn't enough. It's up to those of us in leadership to make sure every girl is given the same opportunity to seek out and pursue their dreams, and every woman is compensated fairly and afforded equal rights. #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2019
