Dear John, 

We simply couldn’t do this work without you. It’s the truth. 

When you sponsor the Annual Luncheon, here’s what you support. 

You support our fierce Executive Director, Nevada, as she envisions and realizes the future of Women Winning. Nevada understands Women Winning’s legacy and enduring impact, and how Women Winning can help create a future in which all Minnesotans can access abortion and raise children in safe and healthy environments. Nevada knows just how high the stakes are – the upcoming elections will decide if Minnesota keeps our pro-choice majority in the State Legislature. 

You support our knowledgeable Political Director, Britta, as she provides strategic support and training to pro-choice champions. Britta meets one-on-one with our endorsed candidates to provide the tailored support they need to run winning campaigns. Britta is always ready and willing to dig deep with candidates and campaign staff to navigate important steps along the way from endorsing conventions to GOTV! 

You support our Political Action series, crafted to elevate and elect our pro-choice champions in critical races. With your help, we’ll oust anti-choice candidates from office and elect pro-choice women! Catch the Women Winning team knocking on doors, speaking with voters, and fighting for our endorsed candidates!  

A huge thank you to ALL our sponsors!
