John,

Hi, it’s Shannon Watts, Founder Emerita of Moms Demand Action and one of Emerge’s national board members.

I’m fed up with pundits who say the lesson from this election was that a woman should never run again at the top of the ticket. The idea that “America just isn’t ready” to elect a woman President is just flat out not true!

The truth is we need more women running at all levels of government. Women only hold 25% of the 500,000 elected positions in America. We need to do whatever it takes to fight back against Donald Trump and his barbaric agenda. For nearly 20 years, Emerge has always been at the forefront of recruiting, training, and supporting Democratic women up and down the ballot.

Just this year, Emerge left a big imprint on the most consequential election of our lifetime. Emerge alums are on the frontlines of Congress and state and local governments, fighting for our most critical freedoms. Emerge elected more than 400 women to office this year. What Emerge accomplished in this election – in the toughest of years – is a winning playbook on how they can grow with your support.

Emerge works year round to recruit and train the right candidates with the right message to run in the right districts and maintains one of the best returns on investment in Democratic politics.

We can’t waste a minute in this crucial fight: Will you donate whatever you can right now to show your support for Emerge? A generous donor will MATCH, dollar for dollar, up to $50,000 so your contribution will be DOUBLED with their end-of-the-year match — don’t miss out!

MATCH MY CONTRIBUTION! ([link removed])

Misogyny tells women to step back. Democracy compels us to step forward. I hope you will join me in supporting Emerge.

Let’s fight back together,
Shannon Watts
Founder Emerita, Moms Demand Action
