The topic for our October 20 webinar – Should “The City Too Busy to Hate” be Divided” is a particularly newsworthy one as certain Republicans – none of whom actually represent any part of the present Atlanta city limits -- push a proposal which would allow Buckhead to de-annex from the city of Atlanta and form a new city.

@bittersoutherner: Journalist Charlayne Hunter-Gault talks with Stacey Abrams about vaccine hesitancy, voter suppression, her political future, and the armor that protects her.

Despite the right to vote, women in the United Sta

Despite the right to vote, women in the United States face many barriers to equality:

💵 Gender Pay Gap – Women earn half of the college degrees and make up roughly half of the workforce, but in 2020, women on average earned 84 percent of what men earned, according to the Pew Research Center. Women of color earned even less.

🤰 The “Mommy” Penalty – Motherhood interrupts a woman’s career path and has long-term implications for lifetime earnings across all types of careers. Women not only exercise parental of family leave options more frequently, they remain away from the workplace for longer.

🪜 Broken Bottom Rung in the Corporate Ladder – In 2020, for the sixth year in a row, McKinsey found women lost ground in promotions to manager. For every 100 men promoted to manager, only 85 women were promoted. For Latina women, the figure was 71 and for black women, 58.

👩🏾‍💼Fewer Women CEOs – Women are CEO’s at 41 of Fortune 500 companies and lead fewer than 200 of the nation’s top 3,000 companies. Women are under-represented on corporate boards and in the C-suite.

🏛Lack of Political Representation – While it is wonderful to finally have women as Vice President and Speaker of the House, both are the first to occupy the position. Currently, nine states have women governors but 19 states, including Georgia, have never had a woman governor. No woman has been president of the United States and women are out-numbered 3 to 6 the United States Supreme Court. Women hold 26.9 percent of Congressional seats and 33.1 percent of Georgia legislative seats. At present the only woman serving Georgia in statewide office was appointed to her PSC post.

⛔️Domestic Violence and Sexual Harassment – Women are the overwhelming majority of the victims of both domestic violence and sexual harassment.

🩺Lack of Reproductive Freedom – Republican Controlled state legislatures continue to erode Roe v. Wade protections for reproductive freedom. The full range of reproductive choices for women, including abortion services and “morning after” pills continue to be the focus of restrictive legislation and a pending Supreme Court debate.

New York makes history!

When embattled New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced his resignation Tuesday, he cleared the path for Lt. Governor Kathy Hochul to become governor and Senate Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins to become Lt. Governor.

Georgia WIN List congratulates these two history-making trailblazers. We look forward to the day when Georgia claims its first woman governor as well – because it is the dream of our founding board members!
