Lucas,
Since the election, we've heard from more than 13,000 women who are interested in running for office.
That's phenomenal, besting any previous numbers we've seen, and it's a testament to the energy sweeping the country.
To help these women run, we're holding a whopping 24 trainings around the country before the end of this year, our most aggressive training schedule EVER. Now, it's our job to get resources to these women, to meet them where they are, and get them trained and ready to start building a campaign.
Donate to support our Run to Win program and help train a new generation of pro-choice Democratic women to run for office.
These women come from all walks of life. They're mothers who want clean air and water for their kids. They're teachers who see their students struggling. They're veterans who want to advance the values of freedom and equality they fought to protect. And many are first-timers, simply fired up to make change in their communities and fight back against policies they know are wrong.
At our Run to Win trainings, we cover all the basics and give these women concrete steps and tools to use. We want to put them in the best possible position to run for office, win, and start advancing policies at the state and local level that will benefit women and families for years to come.
If we do this right, we could have a whole new generation of women leaders come November 2018 and a pipeline for higher offices for decades.
I'm so excited for this work, and I know you are, too. Donate to support Run to Win and help train thousands of women to run for office across the country:
