John,

Today, we honor Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a leader who transformed our nation with his vision, courage, and unwavering commitment to justice. His work reminds us that change doesn’t happen on its own—it requires action, leadership, and a collective commitment to building a better future.

At Emerge, we carry forward Dr. King’s legacy by empowering women to lead and fight for justice in every community. Women have historically been underrepresented in government, and their voices are crucial to ensuring a fair and inclusive society. That’s why we work tirelessly to prepare women, especially those from underrepresented communities, to step into leadership roles.

Emerge is recruiting and training women who are part of the fabric of their communities and represent the New American Majority — Black, Brown, Indigenous women, women of color, as well as young, LGBTQ+, and unmarried women. We believe a government that truly reflects its people must include diverse voices and perspectives.

Even today, discrimination and inequality remain deeply rooted in our institutions. Dr. King’s work reminds us that confronting these challenges takes courage and persistence. The women we train are stepping up to lead the way, working to shape policies that protect civil rights, expand opportunity, and advance justice for everyone.

As we reflect on Dr. King’s enduring impact, we also recognize the challenges ahead. Inspired by his legacy, we stand ready to fight against any efforts that threaten democracy or equality. Together, we are lifting up women’s voices, ensuring that their leadership helps bend the arc of history toward justice.

Thank you for being part of this movement and for believing in the power of women to lead and create a better future for all.

In solidarity,
Team Emerge
