Moving History Forward

Reimagining the
1977 National Women's Conference
to Achieve Gender Equity
in America Now

The Initiative

Moving History Forward reimagines the goals of the historic 1977 National Women's Conference for a new era — and aims to fulfill its promise to achieve gender equity in America now.

As the country approaches its 250th anniversary, we work to reignite a national commitment to gender equity as a cornerstone of American democracy by examining the current state of gender in the United States and creating a new national agenda for our time.
