On Wednesday, January 19, the Stronger California Advocates Network held our virtual 2022 Back to Session Reception and Policy Convening featuring legislators, advocates, and worker organizers from across the state to recommitting to prioritizing women, families, and low-paid workers in 2022. Attendees celebrated our 2021 policy wins, honored the Legislative Champions who supported those policies, and began looking ahead to what California women and families need most this year.
Featuring speakers from the California Legislative Women’s Caucus and worker leaders, attendees discussed policies contributing to the Stronger California agenda’s four pillars: ensuring fair pay, job opportunities and workplace justice; expanding access to affordable, quality child care and education; building economic security by addressing poverty; and supporting family-friendly workplaces.
