MEET OUR FOUNDER
Rachel Pearson
“The governing conversation has not adapted to women’s current economic realities. Engage is emerging in a period of profound upheaval and frustration in every aspect of women’s lives. We convene ideas and people to take common sense action to promote women’s economic security.”
“Thank you for creating Engage. Thank you for, in a time when the notion of bipartisanship actually getting to yes, we could use a hell of a lot more of you.”
Senator Mark Warner (D-VA)
“None of this progress that we make happens on its own. It takes leadership, it takes determination, and it takes partnerships, and that’s why Engage is so important. You elevate women’s voices to strengthen their economic footing and build consensus around real solutions, solutions that work.”
Senator Deb Fischer (R-NE)
“I’m very, very grateful for Engage, for highlighting the good work that is happening that is often very invisible, especially when it comes to work that involves families.”
Representative Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA)
“Rachel Pearson, we thank you for all you do to encourage bipartisanship.”
Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN)
”I’ve been so grateful for Engage’s partnership on my legislative agenda, everything related to healthcare, maternal health, growing our healthcare workforce.”
Representative Lauren Underwood (D-IL)
“I want to thank Engage for their continued work on bipartisanship – the theme of the evening. This year, my Pell Act was signed into law, giving millions of Americans the opportunity to earn industry recognized credentials without taking on long term debt”
