This panel will explore how our economic systems have and continue to favor white men, how we can change that, and what a female-focused economy could do for the country. The rules governing our economy were designed with rich men in mind, and have failed the rest of the country. We’ll explore legislative solutions like the Raise the Wage Act and tax code changes (expanding the Child Tax Credit) that could benefit women.
