Yet\, we know far too many restaurant and retail workers do not earn paid leave as part of their benefits package. \nNot only does this hurt our economy and our public health\, but it hurts our communities. Too often this isn’t a topic that we have space to really talk and share about in community. So\, with funding from the NC Families Care Coalition\, Women AdvaNCe\, the NC Council of Churches\, and Moms Rising are holding\, “Stories from Essential Workers: The Case for Paid Leave for Restaurant and Retail Employees.” \nJoin us for a free lunch\, story sharing\, and an opportunity to learn how to use your voice to advocate for your community. Check out the program below: \n2:00pm-2:30pm: Doors open\, people sign in\, grab food\, mingle\, sit and eat \n2:30pm-2:35pm: 5 minute Welcome  \n2:35pm-2:55pm: Story sharing from restaurant and retail workers (2-5 minutes each) \n3:00pm-3:20pm: Workshops  \n**storytelling – how to use your story to advocate for change! \n**talking to your elected official  \n**letter to editor writing – how to advocate for your community in your local paper \n3:25pm-3:30pm: Thank you and raffle! \nAn opportunity for story sharing. Every story teller from the restaurant and retail worker communities will be compensated $100 for sharing about a time they needed access to paid leave and the impact of not being able to access it. \nPlease RSVP for this event here. \nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastEmail *Phone Number *How many guests will you be bringing? *Are you a retail or restaurant worker? *YesNo \n guests Number you\n \n \n If you are a restaurant or retail worker\, would you be interested in sharing a 3-5 minute story about why you need paid leave at work?

This is the first time in four years we’ve gone west and we’re very excited about the journey. \nJoin women leaders from across North Carolina to discuss policies as they relate to women in the state. This annual event\, coordinated by Women AdvaNCe\, aims to pool together the perspectives of all women in the Tar Heel State\, so we can collectively shape the politics and policies of our state. \nThe Summit includes multiple main stage sessions\, break out sessions\, panel discussions\, and a curated Women AdvaNCe Ideas and Products Market for women-led businesses and organizations. \nTopics we plan to cover in this Summit include: \n\nRace Equity\nLiving Wage/Affordable Housing\nEqual Rights Amendment: How Do We Get NC on Board?\nMidterm Postmortum – How Do We Move Forward with Female Leadership?\nIntersectionality – How do we get out of our silos and have inclusive and productive conversation with each other?
