Join Seattle NOW in collaboration with PSARA Education Committee Chair Linda Peterson as she dives into Social Security and how it impacts women.

Women have fared differently from men under Social Security, and not solely because they have jobs that pay less. Why is this? How might potential legislative changes impact women? What common misconceptions should we be watching out for? What can we do to make sure that Social Security works for women, works for everyone?
