While efforts to suppress our votes and voices sadly continue across the country, San Francisco is giving us hope with their recent efforts to expand the electorate. Noncitizen parents of school-age children are once again able to vote [[link removed]] in the city’s school board elections! This move comes on the heels of a legal challenge that previously denied them from voting.
The message is clear: in San Francisco, every voice counts, regardless of citizenship status. It's important that we use them as an example and continue building stronger, more inclusive communities, where everyone has a say in shaping the future of their children's education.

According to a new report by RepresentWomen [[link removed]] , systems-level reforms such as gender quotas and proportional voting are making politics more accessible for women across the world.
Meanwhile, in the U.S., women are still underrepresented at every level of government, holding just one-third of all elected positions (with women of color holding approximately just one-tenth of all elected positions). It’s high time for that to change so that our leaders reflect the diversity of our country and our policies better support New American communities and encourage more women to run for office.
