LEADING THE CHARGE. INSPIRING THE CHANGE.

For more than 12 years, United Way Women United’s Power of the Purse event has helped women and families achieve financial security. As more families struggle to make ends meet, your support matters more than ever. By being with us today, you are ensuring that people receive job training, financial education and savings opportunities.

Your contribution of $250.00 or more gives you membership to Women United. Join us!

WHO IS ALICE?

ALICE is a United Way-coined acronym that stands for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed.

ALICE is your friend, your neighbor, your family. ALICE works hard, often multiple jobs, yet still struggles to make ends meet as the cost of living has far outpaced wages across our region. ALICE families have household incomes above the Federal Poverty Level, but below a basic cost-of-living threshold. The Connecticut Report is a study of financial hardships in our state. She lives in every area of our state. ALICE is your nursing assistant, childcare worker, home health aide, car mechanic, security guard, teaching assistant, store clerk and office assistant – workers essential to every community’s success, but who struggle to survive on what these jobs pay.

Jessica Bruder
Best Selling Author and Journalist

Jessica Bruder is a journalist who writes about subcultures and social issues. For her New York Times-bestselling book “Nomadland”, she spent months living in a camper van, documenting itinerant Americans who gave up traditional housing and hit the road full time, enabling them to travel from job to job and carve out a place in a precarious economy. The project spanned three years and more than 15,000 miles of driving — from coast to coast and from Mexico to the Canadian border. Nomadland won the Ryszard Kapuściński Award for Literary Reportage and the Discover Award. It was a finalist for the J. Anthony Lukas Prize and the Helen Bernstein Book Award. The New York Times named it both a Notable Book and an Editors’ Choice. The book has been translated into 24 languages and adapted into an eponymous Oscar-winning film.

Jessica is also the author of Burning Book and, with co-author Dale Maharidge, Snowden’s Box: Trust in the Age of Surveillance.
Jessica has been an adjunct professor at Columbia Journalism School and contributing to The New York Times for more than a decade. She has written cover features for The Atlantic, Audubon, Harper’s, The Nation and WIRED magazines. Her stories have also run in outlets including The Washington Post, The Associated Press, The Guardian, The International Herald Tribune, New York Magazine, The New York Times Magazine, Inc. and O: The Oprah Magazine. She has been a staff reporter at The Oregonian and The New York Observer and a senior editor at Fortune Small Business magazine. Her photography appears in Nomadland, Burning Book and Snowden’s Box and has also been published by The New York Times, The New York Observer and Blender magazine.

Jessica has a B.A. in English and French from Amherst College and an M.S. in magazine writing from Columbia Journalism School. Support for her work has come from fellowships at the Rockefeller Foundation’s Bellagio Center, Logan Nonfiction Program, MacDowell and Yaddo.

Going back further, she was a Starbucks barista, a snowboarder, an electric guitar nerd, a music store clerk, a junior camp counselor and a really lousy waitress. She is, eternally, a proud and patch-wearing member of the Madagascar Institute and the Flaming Lotus Girls.

She lives in Brooklyn with a dog named Max and more plants than you can shake a leafy stick at.

Networking Sponsor: Pratt & Whitney

Pratt & Whitney marks their 12th sponsorship of Power of the Purse this year. The aerospace manufacturing company supports programs that inspire the next generation, emphasize innovation and technology, and empowers their employees to positively impact their communities. Pratt & Whitney has partnered with North American Association of Environmental Education (NAAEE) to provide funding to nonprofits engaged in E-STEM education programs through E-STEM Awards, a shared passion between our organizations. Thank you, Pratt & Whitney, for teaching students environmental literacy and supporting communities in innovative ways.

Why Your Support of Power of the Purse Matters

Power of the Purse raises awareness and funds for United Way-supported financial stability initiatives that make a difference in the lives of hard-working women and families.

In our region, one out of three households struggle to make ends meet. In Hartford, it’s two out of three households. The need is greater now than ever due to record inflation and the ongoing economic impacts from the pandemic.

Each day, these families walk a financial tightrope and make difficult choices in meeting basic needs such as food, housing, health care, child care and transportation.

Each day, these families make difficult choices in meeting basic needs such as food, housing, health care, child care and transportation.  

United Way coined the acronym ALICE to describe these households: Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed.  

Visit alice.ct.unitedway.org to access the ALICE Report, a study of financial hardship in Connecticut.
