SPOKANE, Wash. — The Washington State Women’s Commission (WSWC) is bringing the “Activate 3.8: The Pay Equity Tour” to Spokane on Saturday, July 27.
The campaign works to close the wage gap through policy change, industry partnerships and connecting young women to high-paying careers.
WSWC was created by the Washington State Legislature in 2018 and works to improve the well-being of women. The organization aims to identify and develop policies to remove systemic barriers and address critical issues that impact women, including childcare access and affordability, domestic and gender-based violence and equal pay.
WSWC will be joined by Gonzaga University’s Women Lead program and the Girl Scouts of Eastern and Western Washington.
The event will take place in the John J. Hemmingson Center on Gonzaga University’s Campus from 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
The event will host several speakers including the chief security officer of Starbucks and Spokane City Council President Betsy Wilkerson.
There will also be an interactive science program with a Central Valley School District teacher.
