Social Security

Social Security is critically important to women, and especially to women of color. Without it, about half of all women 65 and older would be poor. It also provides valuable disability and life insurance protections to workers and their families. NWLC is fighting to ensure a secure and dignified retirement for women and LGBTQ people
