“Women have the answers to help and heal their communities, and we have to trust them to do that.” @MsTeresaYounger #WomensWealth https://buff.ly/2OaoPuY

“Single women own less than 1/3 of what single men own. Black and Latina women own less than a penny compared to white men and pennies to white women.” Heather McCulloch of @womenswealthgap #WomensWealth https://buff.ly/2OaoPuY

Now is the time to ask, “Who benefits from our public and economic policies.” If the answer isn’t women, now is the time for change. #WomensWealth @womenswealthgap https://buff.ly/2OaoPuY
