Dear John,

As you know, women of color are underrepresented in politics and face distinct barriers when running for office. As a former public official and statewide candidate for office, I know firsthand the challenges that confront women of color as we fight to change the face of power.

That's why I'm proud to announce Lillian's List Foundation's first inaugural Elect Women of Color Training Institute. Elect WOC is a training for women of color looking to run for office in the next 1-3 years.

Elect WOC will be conducted via Zoom on September 25, 28, and 29. Sessions include Campaigns 101, personal narrative building, messaging on reproductive rights, fundraising, and more. If COVID protocols at the time allow, we will follow the virtual training with an in-person networking event.

If you or someone you know would benefit from the Elect Women of Color Training Institute, please apply or spread the word today! bit.ly/2Vaq5T9
