On Wednesday, May 15 from 11 AM-1 PM, we'll hold our first ever performance on the North Capitol Steps to respond to the Governor’s 2013-14 Budget revise. We're resorting to theatre to relay this important message: Damaging public policies and the severe budget cuts of the lasy five years tie women’s hands and keep them trapped in an endless cycle of poverty. Women can’t embrace their futures, care for their children and contribute to our economy with one hand tied behind their backs.
