Announcing Working for Women Report, Third Edition: IWF's Center for Economic Opportunity's Working for Women report reflects changes in our economy and the need to identify policy reforms that restore hope and prosperity in America and give women greater opportunities to flourish.
Balancing personal priorities, improved well-being, and financial security now and in the future are what women seek today. They want to be in charge of their careers and time, not have government bureaucrats calling the shots. Working for Women charts a path to deliver those results.

** International Holocaust Remembrance Day and the Promise the World Made to the Victims ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
We must remember the victims of the Holocaust and the promise the world made to them: NEVER AGAIN. We must apologize to those survivors who were victimized again on October 7th. While brutal thugs are actively trying to exterminate the Jewish people, we must hear our leaders speak the truth and demand accountability. We must also remember there are hostages who need to be brought home, who are currently being violated and abused. Women’s groups must clearly condemn the sexual violence perpetrated against women, men and children in Israel on October 7th and recommit to refusing to allow rape to be used as a weapon. The silence must end. Read More ([link removed])

** Taylor Swift Shouldn’t Sully Her Reputation With Problematic Carbon Offsets ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Pop megastar Taylor Swift is trying to shake off criticism she’s received for her private jet’s carbon footprint. It was revealed last month that “Taylor purchased more than double the carbon credits needed to offset all tour travel” ahead of the March 2023 kickoff of her wildly successful Eras Tour. Swift’s recent travels, spanning three months, reportedly produced 138 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions—comparable to the amount of energy consumed by 17 single-family homes in a year.

** CON Laws Are a Prescription for Healthcare Monopolies ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Since the passage of the Sherman Antitrust Act in 1890, the federal U.S. government takes an active role in preventing monopolies. And even among those who do not support such government intervention, monopolies generally do not enjoy popularity. Consumers appreciate the increased options and lower costs typical of a competitive market.
