All over America, women are on fire. They’re marching, voting, running for office, and they’re looking for ways they can do even more to change the direction of this country.
That’s why @aijenpoo , @aliciagarza, @kagrainger, @DeirdreSchifeli, @pantsuitnation and others are building @supermajority
Women have come a long way over the last century, but not far enough. As 78th in the world for gender equity in politics, we are the only developed country with no paid family leave, and we lead the developed world in maternal mortality rates, esp. for Black women.
Still, despite this lack of power, women have made enormous progress. Today, women are almost half the workforce and are 50% of college students. Increasingly women are the breadwinners of their families.
At home, at the office, and on campaigns, women are doing the work. Now, we need to work together. We need a women’s revolution for equity across race, age, ability, faith, sexual orientation, geography, and income. We can no longer be an afterthought.
Women are on the cusp of being the most powerful force in America. We already make up 54% of voters and donated $100 million+ more to political campaigns in 2018 than in 2016.
There is no road to the White House, statehouse or Congress without going through women voters.
That’s where @supermajority comes in. We’ll provide women with the tools they need to make sure our needs aren’t dismissed. I hope you’ll become a founding member today and help us build the community we need. bit.ly/2GHgeJJ
