Dear Lucas,
When folks ask me how EMILY's List is going to change in our next 25 years, that is what I say -- we are going to GROW. As I see it, the answer to electing more pro-choice Democratic women is simple: we need to grow our community and reach out to the next generation of supporters -- and that begins right now online.
That's why I'm so excited to let you know about what we're doing online.
We redesigned www.emilyslist.org to make it easier for you to find what you're looking for -- and to react, respond, and engage with what you find. Fully integrated with social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter , the site also has new interactive features, including the ability to "like" a candidate, filter news according to your tastes, and participate in the online conversation at the EMILY's List blog.
We're excited to debut a series of video testimonials from members of the EMILY's List community -- including many of the women we've helped elect, campaign staffers, and EMILY's List supporters from around the country. Click here to check out the We Are EMILY project today.
I'm on Twitter now, so I'll be sharing updates throughout the day about what we're doing at the List and the latest news on our women candidates. Click here to follow me!
Recently, an EMILY's List Facebook fan commented that she had "found my home" on our page -- and that's just how we want you to feel on our new site. We hope you'll come back to the site often and check out the special projects we'll be adding soon, including an interactive archive of the first 25 years of EMILY's List.And, my friends, this is just the beginning. We're in phase one, and we're looking for more ideas to reach out and expand our EMILY's List community in the months and years to come.
I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on our new site.
Take care,
Stephanie Schriock
President
