John, it's Democratic Whip Katherine Clark. In a minute, I’m going to ask you to support Emerge with a donation – but first, will you give me a moment to explain why their work is so important?

I've seen Emerge's impact firsthand: Emerge alums in the House have helped Democrats make headway on so many issues that impact women's lives: health care, workplace protections for pregnant workers, child care, reproductive freedom, and more.

I'm so proud of the progress we've already made together – but we've still got work to do. At a time when women's rights are under attack by the GOP, we need to elect even more women to Congress and to down-ballot offices as well.

So I'm asking you to help Emerge change the face of power at this critical moment for women's freedom: Can I count on you to give $10 or more now to help Emerge recruit, train, and empower Democratic women candidates?

The first time I got involved in politics, I ran for school board because I wanted to help kids and families succeed. I won that race – one of the hardest and most rewarding positions I’ve ever had! Then I ran for State House because I wanted to fix our broken child care system – then State Senate. I made the decision to run for Congress with a laser focus on supporting women, working families, and enhancing child care in every sector. Now, I am the second woman to ever serve as Democratic Whip. 

I've dedicated my career to fighting for women's rights, and I know how important it is to invest in the next generation of women leaders – especially at a time when the GOP is attacking our freedom. I am proud to be a voice advocating for change, but have often been the only woman at the table. This has never been a one-woman job, John, and I am committed to encouraging and supporting more women in leadership positions. Will you join me?

By investing $10 in Emerge’s work right now, you can help us get strong women candidates on the ballot and ensure bright new voices are heard at every level, from the school board to Congress.

So please, will you donate $10 or more now – as much as you can – to help Emerge empower more Democratic women to run for office and win?

Thank you so much for your support,

Katherine Clark
