The United WE Signature Brooch is more than an accessory. Inspired by the olive branch, it serves as a symbol of diplomacy, respect, and our shared commitment to bringing civility back into our conversations and communities.

Wear it as a reminder that meaningful progress happens when we come together, embrace different perspectives, and lead with respect.

Together, we can carry this message forward and help create a culture where civility, thoughtful dialogue, and common ground make meaningful progress possible.

On Wednesday, September 16, United WE will bring leaders from across sectors together in Washington, DC—and online nationwide—for a national conversation on one of the defining workforce issues of our time: caregiving.

Millions of Americans are balancing careers while caring for loved ones—and the impact extends far beyond individual families to our businesses and economy. This timely forum will bring together leaders from the business, nonprofit, philanthropic, and public sectors to explore practical solutions that better support working caregivers while strengthening workforce participation and economic competitiveness.

The afternoon will feature a live panel discussion with leaders shaping the future of work and caregiving. The program will be livestreamed nationwide beginning at 4:00 p.m. ET / 3:00 p.m. CT. Following the program, in-person guests will gather for a reception with employers, policymakers, foundation leaders, caregivers, and nonprofit executives from across the country.

For too long, we’ve approached workplace barriers by asking women to adapt.

But as Shelley Zalis reminds us, women are not broken. The systems were never designed with everyone in mind.

Real progress doesn’t come from changing women. It comes from building workplaces where every person has the opportunity to thrive.

That means rethinking policies, removing unnecessary barriers, supporting caregivers, expanding leadership pathways, and creating cultures where talent can succeed because of the system, not in spite of it.

It’s time to stop fixing women and start fixing the workplace.

United WE’s President & CEO, Wendy Doyle, has talked with women who tell her, “ I only stepped away for 2 years.” Then they describe the promotion they missed, the retirement savings they never recovered, or how difficult it was to restart a career after caregiving. Those years don’t simply disappear. They compound over time.

Affordable childcare, eldercare support, flexible work, and predictable schedules don’t just help families get through today—they preserve economic opportunity for decades.

Visit the Events page on our website to attend one of our upcoming Caregiving Forums and join the conversation to help shape the future of work and caregiving.

The return of Ted Lasso means another chance for the world to fall in love with Kansas City.

We know this city as a place where collaboration, leadership, and community come together to create real change.

That’s exactly what we celebrated at Champions for Change this spring at CPKC Stadium, where leaders from across the country gathered to advance women’s economic leadership.

Women don’t just need a seat at the table. They need ownership.

As Brittany Mahomes shared at Champions for Change, “We’re here to build real equity and create spaces where women don’t just have a seat at the table, but they own the building the table sits in.”

At United WE, we’re committed to creating systems where women can lead, thrive, and shape the future of our communities, economy, and democracy. Because real change happens when women are empowered not just to participate, but to build, influence, and lead at every level.
