Join a special program for New American women

Running for office as a woman, especially as a New American can be an exhilarating and empowering experience, but it can also be devastating when you lose. We understand the courage it takes to step up—and return—when our communities need us the most. That’s why we’re proud to share that we are bringing back Rising to Run in the New Year!

The Rising to Run program is an innovative month-long program designed to empower women of color and New American women who have previously run for office and lost. This comprehensive program includes a three-day intensive in-person training and accompanying virtual sessions. Not only will you gain valuable insights on how to spring forward, but you’ll also be in the company of other strong women with who have had similar experiences and forge new resolve for the opportunities ahead!
