In May, Women Employed started The Working Lunch, a virtual event series to discuss what a true inclusive women’s movement looks like, and how to shape a stronger and more equitable future. Women Employed is a Chicago-based organization whose mission, according to their website, is “to improve the economic status of women and remove barriers to economic equity.”
The final two events in the series will be held in August and September. On Aug.13, 2020 the program will be discussing women’s equal pay and featuring different speakers. The last conference will be Sept.17, 2020 and it will be about young women and their success in the workforce.
