Lucas,
When thousands of women come knocking on your door, you have to figure
out a way to answer.
That's exactly what we had to do in the weeks after the election and
around the women's march when an unprecedented influx of women came
to EMILY's List asking how to run for office. So we launched Run to Win.
Eight months later, I am proud to report that more than
18,000 women have reached out to us about running for office — almost half with
plans to run in the next two years for state and local office!
The time for these women to start filing the paperwork to run and launching
their campaigns is fast approaching.
Earlier this year, we announced our most extensive training schedule EVER.
We've already traveled to 14 cities across the map (with 11 more to
go before the year is over!) and have already trained nearly
1,500 women, with more to come in the months ahead.
We held our first-ever online training. We created an online community
for women to ask questions and learn from the experts and folks who've
done it. And we've held two Facebook Live events to help women get
prepared to run.
And there's plenty more on the way!
None of this work would be possible without your support. With every woman
we train, we can help get another campaign off the ground.
Donate $3 to help thousands of pro-choice Democratic women run for office for the first time:
