HR 1 aims to take the burden off voters, and passed the House with unanimous Democratic support. It‘s a broadly popular bill but Republicans have decided that anything that makes it easier for all people to vote is a nonstarter for them. Solidarity Sundays is getting behind voter protection. We are discussing the FOR THE PEOPLE ACT in detail, and how we can help get it passed in the Senate. 👊

Professor Linda Scott will join us April 13th @ 12pm EST/6pmCET

To discuss the research behind the findings in her recently-published book:

“The Double X Economy: The Epic Potential of Empowering Women."

Internationally renowned expert on women's economic development and Emeritus DP World Professor for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the University of Oxford.  Professor Linda Scott will join us to discuss the research behind the findings in her recently-published book: “The Double X Economy: The Epic Potential of Empowering Women.” Her analysis of international gender data shows the reality of a distinctive pattern of economic inequality which, when combined with cultural impediments, forms the shadow economy unique to women, the “Double X Economy.” To quote Melinda Gates:

“Linda Scott shines a light on women's essential and often invisible contributions to our global economy--while combining insight, analysis, and interdisciplinary data to make a compelling and actionable case for unleashing women's economic power." --Melinda Gates, author of The Moment of Lift: How Empowering Women Changes the World

Linda gives us a powerful argument going forward: “…equal economic treatment for women would put a stop to some of the world’s costliest evils, while building prosperity for everyone.”  And she is looking to recruit everyone to the cause of women’s economic inclusion!
