Hi John xxxxxx,
March is Women’s History Month, which is a great time to reflect on:
- How far we’ve come in the fight for equal rights
- How much we still have yet to gain
and, most importantly…
- How much we have to lose
Many of our mothers and grandmothers remember living in a time when women couldn't open their own credit cards (1974) or apply for high-paying jobs. It’s only been about 100 years since women were granted the right to vote.
We have watched in horror as misogynists and convicted sexual predators work to dismantle our government in Washington, and, in many ways, we’re already seeing a backslide for women’s progress in America.
We are writing today because we have a plan for ensuring pro-women legislation prevails.
But here’s the thing: passing pro-women legislation is dependent on women being REPRESENTED in the rooms where decisions about our lives and our bodies are being made.
Before Women’s History Month comes to a close, make sure you chip in to elect more pro-choice and pro-WOMEN women candidates by pitching in $20.25 or more today. →

Over the past few decades, women have become more represented at almost every level of government – and our laws have reflected that increase in representation. For example, when Nevada became the first state to achieve gender parity in their state legislature in 2019, we saw 29 (!!!!) new pieces of legislation expanding women’s rights and safety within the first three legislative cycles alone!
But in recent years, we have started to see a disturbing trend:
In 2024, the Center for American Women and Politics (CAWP) released a stunning report stating that far fewer women ran for Congress in 2024 than in previous election cycles.
