Washington state is among the worst in the nation for the gender pay gap, a reality that stunts our state’s economy, restricts opportunities for 3.8 million women, and has the potential to limit future generations of girls.

The Washington State Women’s Commission is on a mission to change that 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

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.
