About the past....
In 1977, approximately 2,000 delegates from fifty states and six territories participated in the meeting. It was required to include varied economic, racial, ethnic, religious, and age groups. The conference was organized after a 1975 United Nations conference in Mexico City celebrating the "International Year of the Woman," which was later extended to an "International Decade for Women." President Gerald R. Ford had established early in 1975 a thirty-five-member National Commission on the Observance of International Women's Year to make recommendations to promote equality between men and women. Congressional action came at the same time with Public Law 94-167, which was introduced by United States Congresswomen Bella S. Abzug and Patsy Mink and called for the commission to organize and convene a national women's conference in 1977. In 2017, we will revisit their success and re-energize the agenda to advance women today.http://www.onthemoveforum.com/
