John,

As we prepare for our 20th Anniversary Gala tonight, I’m reminded of the women who helped me get to where I am today by lifting me up, believing in me, and seeing potential in me when I didn’t see it in myself.

Our work at Emerge is about honoring the incredible trailblazers who paved the way for women today to reach new heights and continue breaking down barriers!

Emerge is the nation's largest organization dedicated to recruiting and training Democratic women to run, win, and lead. Over the last 20 years, we’ve trained over 6,000 women with more than 1,200 alums currently serving in elected office — from local school boards to the halls of Congress.

With Donald Trump’s extreme agenda threatening all of the progress we made, our work has never been more important! For every woman who is ready to run for office, Emerge stands ready with the training, resources, and network of support that our alums need at every step of the way.

Will you help fuel our work so we can continue building up our nationwide infrastructure year-round and train even more Democratic women who will fight for our communities? Everyone who contributes $25 or more will receive a FREE livestream ticket to tonight’s Gala at 7 PM PT to hear from our keynote speaker, VP Kamala Harris – so don’t wait to secure your FREE ticket!

Thank you for standing with us,

A’shanti F. Gholar
President and CEO, Emerge
