The Very Real Women’s Issues That The President Needs To Address

As the president lays the groundwork for his seventh State Of The Union address tonight, January 20, a new video highlights the pressing issues facing millennial women in particular.

In “The State Of Our Union: Millennial Women Speak,” produced by Refinery29, a diverse group of women explain why current and would-be elected representatives should be paying attention to this generation’s perspective.

As we listen closely to the president’s address, it’s time we demand the same courtesy. “In the coming year, we expect candidates and other national leaders to speak to young women, and to speak about young women,” Halpin writes. “We just want to make sure that they are also listening to young women.”
