Hi there,

March is Women’s History Month, which is a great time to reflect on:

- How far we’ve come in the fight for equal rights
- How much we still have yet to gain
and, most importantly…
- How much we have to lose

Many of our mothers and grandmothers remember living in a time when women couldn't open their own credit cards (1974) or apply for high-paying jobs. It’s only been about 100 years since women were granted the right to vote.

We have watched in horror as misogynists and convicted sexual predators work to dismantle our government in Washington, and, in many ways, we’re already seeing a backslide for women’s progress in America.

We are writing today because we have a plan for ensuring pro-women legislation prevails.

But here’s the thing: passing pro-women legislation is dependent on women being REPRESENTED in the rooms where decisions about our lives and our bodies are being made.
Before Women’s History Month comes to a close, make sure you chip in to elect more pro-choice and pro-WOMEN women candidates by pitching in $20.25 or more today. →

Over the past few decades, women have become more represented at almost every level of government – and our laws have reflected that increase in representation. For example, when Nevada became the first state to achieve gender parity in their state legislature in 2019, we saw 29 (!!!!) new pieces of legislation expanding women’s rights and safety within the first three legislative cycles alone!

But in recent years, we have started to see a disturbing trend:

In 2024, the Center for American Women and Politics (CAWP) released a stunning report stating that far fewer women ran for Congress in 2024 than in previous election cycles.

​​Since 2022, the number of women candidates running for federal office is down by 25%. Executive offices at the state level: down by 73%. The number of women running for State legislature is down by 55.4% – and the numbers are even worse when you break it down by race…

This is a horrible time for women to lose representation in government as dangerous laws about women’s bodies and well-being are being crafted by rooms full of men. We desperately need more women in those rooms.

It’s critical that we reverse this trend immediately. That’s why Her Bold Move is providing pro-choice, pro-WOMEN women candidates with the wide range of support they need to run for office and WIN their elections.

We are working to ensure that women’s hard-fought progress doesn’t slip away. In honor of Women’s History Month, join us to elect as many pro-choice, pro-women women as possible throughout the Trump administration by donating $20.25 or more today. [link removed]

Happy Women’s History Month,

Her Bold Move


Her Bold Move is the fastest-growing support network for women running for political office in America. As dangerous laws about women get passed in states with the lowest numbers of women in government (11%, 12%....), we're BREAKING the male supermajorities across those states.

Because men shouldn't be making laws about women's bodies.
