The theme of this year\u2019s celebration is \u201cchoose to challenge\u201d which aligns well with the Early Accountability mindset of promoting inclusivity, calling out inequalities, and celebrating the achievements of those around you \u2013 in particular, women.\n\nHere are 5 ways that you can be involved in promoting change, today and every day:\n1.Dialogue with others \u2013 Have open lines of communication with your family, friends, coworkers, children, and members of groups you are involved with about ways that women are being marginalized.\n\n2.Share information \u2013 Encourage yourself and others to learn more about inequality.\n\n3.Highlight the accomplishments of others \u2013 Be intentional about lifting up people from marginalized groups and underrepresented fields \u2013 Black women in STEM, for instance.\n\n4.Support businesses \u2013 Promote positive behavior by patronizing businesses who are working towards change and by holding businesses accountable.\n\n5.Respond when you see things that are wrong \u2013 This does not have to be a hostile confrontation.
