One thing about the Women’s Commission: our leaders are courageous, visionary, and ambitious — and we wouldn’t have it any other way!

Our Executive Director, Brittany Gregory, is moving on to an exciting new opportunity. We’re so grateful for the heart, passion, and drive she’s brought to this work and wish her all the best in this next chapter.

Thank you, Brittany. You’ll always be part of the Women’s Commission story! 💜

Saturday was one for the books.

During our first-ever "Girls on the Field," girls participated in training sessions with professionals from the Seattle Seahawks, Seattle Majestics, Seattle Mariners, and Seattle Reign FC at the Tacoma Soccer Center.

Joined by Seahawks Legend Marcus Trufant, Senator T'wina Nobles, and an incredible group of volunteers and chaperones (we appreciate you!), girls had the opportunity to learn new skills, try new sports, and connect with inspirational athletes. Our attendees came in excited and they left confident and with new friends!

We wish we could run this one back!

Starting October 1, certain noncitizens will no longer be eligible for Apple Health, the state’s Medicaid program.

In this video, we break down the groups that will be affected, including refugees, asylees, and Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) self-petitioners.

We also talk about the resources that will remain available to help support these individuals with health care costs.
