John,

At our 20th Anniversary Gala, we heard something powerful again and again from Vice President Kamala Harris, Secretary Deb Haaland, and Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger:

Courage is contagious.

It’s showing up. It’s raising your hand when nobody else will. It’s declaring, “I might want to run,” and then doing it, even when the odds are long.

This weekend, we saw people across the country peacefully protesting, demanding justice, defending our rights, and refusing to back down.

In such a politically volatile time, it takes immense courage to speak out. And even more courage to put your name on the ballot. But that’s exactly what Emerge women are doing — every single day.

Now, it’s our turn to support the next generation of women ready to lead. Will you chip in today?

When Secretary Haaland broke barriers, when Abigail Spanberger stepped up to flip a GOP seat, when Kamala Harris told a room of women that this country belongs to us, they weren’t just speaking for themselves.

They were speaking for every woman who’s ever wondered if she could run, if her voice mattered, if she could lead.

At Emerge, we know the answer is yes.

With your support, we’ll continue to find and train those women. And we’ll make sure they have the tools, training, and support to win.
