John,
EMILYs List began in 1985 with a mission to support Democratic pro-choice women running for office. Our guiding principle was: Women should be at every decision-making table in politics. It was (and still is) a pretty simple idea. As it turns out, a lot of revolutions start with pretty simple ideas.
The other EMILYs List foremothers and I founded this organization because the political establishment at the time did not believe women could win elections. This became a self-fulfilling prophecy when they refused to support women candidates. We knew it was time for a change. We were determined to open doors so women had a fair chance to compete — and to win.
Well, the doors are certainly open now. And I am so thrilled to be saying this to you, John: After 39 years of movement-building and growing political power for women, we have the chance this year to break the highest, hardest glass ceiling of all. This can be the year we send an EMILYs List woman to the White House.
There is still time to be part of the wave that helps elect Kamala Harris and the hundreds of other women EMILYs List has endorsed this cycle, up and down the ballot. But you need to act now.
