John,
 

Today we mourn. But even as we mourn, we keep going. We answer questions from women running for local office, we plan future training, we keep working for a future where days like this are firmly in the past.

 
It's ok to just be sad or angry today, but if you'd like to turn those feelings into action, we promise we'll use your investment fix this the only way we know how.
 
 

"One of the hardest parts of this is all those pinky promises, and all those little girls who are gonna have to wait four more years. That's gonna be hard." - Elizabeth Warren

                 “The reality is that there's still a lot of work to be done to make it very clear that women are exceptionally qualified and capable of being the commander in chief of the United States of America.” - Senator Kamala Harris  “Women are held to a higher standard. Otherwise, we could play a game called name your favorite woman president, which we can’t do because it has all been men.” - Senator Amy Klobuchar     "If you don’t speak up, things aren’t gonna change. If you don’t become an advocate, it’s not gonna change. If you don’t vote, it’s not gonna change. If you don’t run, it’s not gonna change." - Senator Kirsten Gillibrand

 

It matters that these woman ran for president. Every time a woman runs, she makes it easier for the women who go next, makes it more normal for voters, normal for kids, helps to change the default picture and pronouns in our heads when someone says president or leader.

 

We remain incredibly grateful for their leadership and sacrifice, and our hearts are with them and the staff and volunteers who worked so hard. 

 

 

In Solidarity,
