Emerge works year in and year out to build a bench of powerhouse Democratic women, John. That’s how we seize the opportunity to transform politics at every level and run the right candidate in the right races at the right time.

In just a minute, I’m going to ask for your help to hit our crucial end-of-month goal and keep advancing our winning strategy. But first, here’s why your support matters at this pivotal moment for our democracy:  

9 That’s how many days until the November elections THIS YEAR. Emerge has known from the start that 2023 would be a critical election year, and we’ve been ramping up our work to empower Democratic women to meet this moment. 

200+ That’s how many trailblazing Emerge women are on the ballot right now – poised to achieve historic firsts, build crucial blue firewalls in bellwether states, and take us ever closer to strong, women-led Democratic majorities across the country.

30+ We urgently need NEW voices in politics, but first-time candidates usually win at a rate of only about 10 percent. But in 2022, Emerge’s first-time candidates won at a rate of 43 percent, a 30+ point jump! 

500 That’s how many Emerge community members we need to make an Emerge membership gift before our end-of-month deadline so we can keep empowering Democratic women to victory this November and beyond. We must seize the opportunity to build a truly representative government that puts our rights and our communities first! 

We count on community members like you, who know how high the stakes are, to power our work to recruit and train the leaders we need and deserve. But our deadline is approaching fast, so please: 

Make a membership gift of $5 or more to Emerge now to power our women-led movement. Every dollar will go toward our proven programs to help Democratic women run, win, and change the face of politics in every state.

Thank you for your urgent support today, 

Sandra Bishop 
Chief Development Officer, Emerge
