The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed deep inequities in our society. Women, especially women of color, are negatively and disproportionately impacted. According to a health study, 70 percent of women ages 18-29 and 55 percent of women of all ages have reported mental health challenges due to pandemic-related worry or stress. The lack of access to quality healthcare, job and economic security, childcare and other family support services, are major barriers many women face today.

We can make real changes by raising our voices and exercising our right to vote. Join our W Challenge community and expand our representation today!

Join with citywide women leaders at the #WChallenge Celebration for Women’s Equality Day on Thursday, August 26 at 12 noon on the steps of City Hall to hear about ways to expand our representation and support women’s wellbeing and community health.

This year’s W Challenge is about taking action. We encourage all women to make a plan to vote for the upcoming election. Please bring your completed and signed ballot to drop off at City Hall on Women’s Equality Day or visit the Voting Center after the event.

Women’s March San Francisco is proud to continue as a supporting partner of the W Challenge since it was founded in 2018 by our friend City Administrator Carmen Chu. It is a collaboration led by San Francisco City Administrator Carmen Chu, the Department on the Status of Women and the League of Women Voters San Francisco with a simple goal of raising women’s voices and expanding women's representation.
