JULIE ROGINSKY, a co-founder of Lift Our Voices, has long been an outspoken champion of women’s rights and issues. A nationally recognized political consultant, Roginsky began her career working at a prominent organization dedicated to electing more women to political office. Throughout her career, she has focused her efforts on mentoring and empowering women to become engaged in the political process.

In Congress, she championed the bipartisan Speak Out Act, which eradicates pre-dispute non-disclosure agreements for sexual assault and harassment. At the state level, she has advocated for laws that prevent workers from disclosing toxic workplace experiences.

Roginsky was previously a contributor at CNBC and the Fox News Channel, where she was a frequent co-host of “Outnumbered” and “The Five.” In 2017, she became one of the first women to file a sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit against the Fox News Channel and its chairman.

Roginsky received both her B.A. and M.A. with honors from Boston University, where her graduate work focused on studying the dissolution of the Soviet Union and its transition from a planned to a market economy. Her passion for empowering women began in college, when she spent 9me working at the Labour Party in London, focusing on policies affecting women in the United Kingdom.
