Economic Security

Tax policy affects everyone. It pervades every aspect of our nation’s life – from the roads we drive on, to national security and public safety, to the schools that teach the next generation. How we levy taxes and distribute the nation’s resources is fundamental in creating a healthy, vibrant economy that benefits everyone.

But taxes ARE also a woman’s issue. Current US tax policies have a far-reaching and largely negative impact on women – and recent changes in our tax system are challenging our nation’s commitment to fairness, equity and justice along with our economic well-being.
