Congresswoman Beatty Leads DWC Advocacy Efforts in New Leadership Role

January 22, 2025

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Yesterday, Democratic Women’s Caucus (DWC) Chair Congresswoman Teresa Leger Fernández (NM-03) announced that Congresswoman Joyce Beatty will continue to serve on the DWC Executive Steering Committee in the newly established role of National Leaders & Advocacy Organizations Liaison. In this role, Congresswoman Beatty will work closely with the Executive Branch and over 60 gender equity advocacy organizations partnered with the DWC. These organizations champion key issues such as equal pay, reproductive rights, workplace opportunities, affordable childcare, and more.

Congresswoman Beatty shared her excitement about the new role, stating:

“Women are the architects of our nation’s success and the driving force behind its progress. We lead boldly in our families, communities, workplaces, and halls of power. From fueling our economy to advancing legislation and innovation, women’s contributions are indispensable. And through every pivotal moment in history—civil rights, suffrage, and movements for equity and justice—women have been at the forefront, demanding change and making it happen.

"I look forward to collaborating with organizations championing equal pay, reproductive rights, workplace opportunities, affordable childcare, and so much more. Together, we will break down barriers, amplify women’s voices, and build a future where equity and opportunity are not just aspirations but realities for women and their families.”

The DWC Executive Steering Committee will lead the largest-ever Democratic Women’s Caucus, with 95 women from diverse backgrounds uniting to fight for the advancement of women and families in the 119th Congress.
