What makes
Engage different?

We are singularly focused on improving women’s economic security. We will not be divided in our mission. Discussions around divisive social issues are not a focus of Engage’s bipartisan mission. 

Engage does not endorse candidates running for elected office.

Engage does not raise money for or contribute to candidates running for elected office.

from our founder, RACHEL PEARSON

“The political conversation has not adapted to women’s current economic realities. Engage is emerging in a period of profound transformation in every part of our lives, societally and economically. We are a powerful convening of ideas and people taking real action to promote women’s economic security in the United States.”
