Women comprise 50.3% of California’s population. We are half the tax-payers, half the voters, and half of what makes this state a leader and the 4th largest economy in the world. Ongoing investment is necessary to bolster California’s economy and ensure that we are truly on track for a gender-equitable recovery from the pandemic. The Commission is honored to be able to support on-the-ground efforts to bolster economic growth and security for women through the Women’s Recovery Response Grant.
