Dear friends of gender parity,

It's a busy time of year for all of us so I thought I would send along a couple videos to watch:

The firstvideofrom Now This entitled: A United Nations Report Shows the U.S. is Failing Women At All Levels, is a sobering reminder of the many challenges we face as we begin our work together in the new year.

There was also this good Huffington Postpiecethis week on the same topic.

And this greatvideojust in from the Institute for Women's Policy Research on their work on the Status of Women in the States.

A shoutout toSheShouldRunon their great event in DC this last week, toVoteRunLeadon their terrific #FillTheRoom social media campaign, andPresidential Gender Watcha joint project of the Center for American Women & Politics and the Barbara Lee Family Foundation which is a great resource for tracking the impact of gender on the presidential race.

As always, if you have material you would like to share please send it along and I will share it with the group in early January.

Many thanks,

Cynthia
