WE WORK FOR CHANGE 2024

We Work For Change took place at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and via Virtual Livestream on September 12, 2024.

We united with hundreds of women and male allies from across the country to fuel and advance all women’s economic and civic leadership. We Work for Change is United WE’s national event taking place in Kansas City and livestreamed nationally, bringing together women, men, and allies to raise funds and awareness of United WE's work, priorities, and results to advance all women’s economic and civic leadership.

ABOUT UNITED WE:

United Women’s Empowerment —United WE— advances all women’s economic and civic leadership to make meaningful change through research, advocacy, policy solutions, and civic engagement. As a nonpartisan, nonprofit champion for women, we envision a world where all women are empowered to strengthen America’s economy and democracy. In our 33rd year, we are a growing national movement focused on affordable childcare, pay equity, paid family leave, occupational licensing, entrepreneurship, and civic engagement. Proceeds from this event help fuel our mission and accelerate progress toward a more gender-equitable world.
