Setting the Agenda for 2021
As we prepare for our work in 2021 we want to know how you’re doing and what you think is most vital for us to work towards next year. First we’ve listed our draft agenda for 2021, accompanied by a survey on the left. Please let us know your thoughts:
- Bend the curve on the COVID pandemic in order to keep our loved ones alive and healthy while also rebuilding an economy that ensures women are able to put food on their table, and be home in time to eat it. This means an end to the COVID pandemic through policy that prioritizes the needs of Black, Indigenous and women of color in both ending the public health crisis and re-imagining an economy that works for women. These priorities are grounded in the We Demand More agenda.
- Ensure that Black and Indigenous women, as well as women of color, can exist with dignity, free from state-sponsored violence and economic and social oppression. Work to fight against white supremacist patriarchy through a robust set of policies that ends the war on Black women and Black communities. These priorities are grounded in the Movement for Black Lives agenda.
- Build a world beyond sexual violence, where all women can thrive. Following the lead of Black and Indigenous survivors, as well as survivors of color we seek to reform not just our legal or healthcare system, but society as a whole to disrupt and end sexual violence, including sexual harassment. These priorities are grounded in the Survivors Agenda.
- Ensure that women, and especially women of color, and are able to fully engage in media conversations. By working to challenge white supremacist assumptions and policies that shape media coverage and social media platform operations, we are working to create media spaces where women can participate free from fear of gender and race-based attacks. While this work does not yet have a set of legislative agenda priorities, we are moving in close collaboration with the Change the Terms Coalition.
