2013

Happy Anniversaries

In 2013, we will celebrate noteworthy anniversaries of several historic advances for women and families. Yesterday was the 40th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade; February 5th will be the 20th anniversary of the Family and Medical Leave Act; June 10th the 50th anniversary of the Equal Pay Act; and October 31st the 35th anniversary of the Pregnancy Discrimination Act. It’s a year to celebrate past successes, but also to remember how much work remains to protect women’s health and advance families’ economic security.
