Lilly has fought for equality and justice for women for more than 10 years and continues that fight today. The Supreme Court reversed the decision that would have awarded over $3mm to Lilly for workplace discrimination. Two Seattle women have started a campaign, Make Lilly Right, that asks one million women to give a gift of $3 to Lilly to make that right. Join the campaign at facebook (Make Lilly Right) or at http://www.makelillyright.com. It’s time to give something back!
