Hi John,

Today, on International Women's Day, I wanted to take a moment to thank
every woman, and the men who support us, who has stood up for change.

While we will fiercely fight to beat Trump no matter what, many of us
felt sadness this week. Sad that it won't be a woman again, at least not
yet.

I've been reflecting on this with conflicting emotions. We've seen great
progress, and yet still, there are great gaps.

So on this International Women's Day, I wanted to put my thoughts down
as a message of who we are and about moving forward
.

I've included an excerpt below. I hope it motivates.

-------

In June 2019, I was that little girl.

I watched with awe and hope as an inclusive field, one with not just one
strong woman, but several strong women, took to the stage for the first
Democratic primary debate in the 2020 presidential race.

While many complained of the debates being too crowded, I was simply
giddy at the potential.

**I was hopeful for a future of sisterhood and female leadership, one
where compassion could pair with competence in a way that our country so
direly needs.**

I have had the opportunity to speak with two of the women on that stage
and they had both personally reaffirmed for me that as women we can be
compassionate, competent and successful. We can be strong leaders
without trying to be "tough" like a man. We are tough enough.

Senator Elizabeth Warren and I had the most genuine conversation I think
I've ever had with a politician because she didn't feel the need to
be a Senator during our chat. She was just Elizabeth.

Within minutes, we were chuckling and commiserating over the constant
advice women candidates receive on the trail. No matter your
accomplishments or wins, the assumption is women need saving, we need
help with the strategy.
