Federal Budget

The federal budget is a statement of values–where we make investments reveals what we value as a nation. We need a federal budget that prioritizes the well-being and future success of women and their families–centering the women of color, women with low incomes, LGBTQ women, women with disabilities, and immigrant women who face the highest levels of economic insecurity.
