Send Your Signature to Washington

Kappa Delta encourages members to help The White House Project, a partner in the Confidence Coalition, meet its goal to gather 1 million signatures to ignite a national movement to inspire girls. The signed declaration will be presented to the administration on Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day, April 22. You can participate in the movement and have your voice heard by signing the declaration today.

The White House Project aims to advance women’s leadership in all communities and sectors, up to the U.S. presidency. To further the cause, The White House Project is partnering with the Barbie doll to inspire girls to dream, discover and explore a world without limits. With more than 120 careers on her resume over the course of 50 years – from registered nurse to rock star, veterinarian to aerobics instructor, pilot to police officer and most recently news anchor and computer engineer – Barbie continues to take on aspiring and culturally relevant roles while also serving as a role model and agent of change for girls.

“Barbie inspires girls to try on different careers, encouraging them to play out their dreams and explore the world and all of its possibilities,” says Stephanie Cota, senior vice president, Barbie Marketing. We believe role-playing with Barbie leads to real life opportunities and are very proud to partner with organizations who continue to inspire girls and women with the belief and confidence that they can do anything.”

Marie Wilson, founder and president of The White House Project, says, “In creating Take Our Daughters to Work Day, I had the opportunity to take girls into workplaces that they might never have seen, and through these experiences, their aspirations changed and grew. When we started The White House Project, we had to show girls they could aspire to the top workplace of all: the Oval Office.” To sign the petition, visit www.thewhitehouseproject.org/barbie/.
