John, let's be clear: Donald Trump and his allies are looking to target and take over our cities — to score political points with their base, push their chaotic and cruel agenda, and distract from their political failures. 

But these cities are the very places where Democratic pro-choice women are leading with courage and conviction. 

Just last week, when the Justice Department tried to pressure mayors to fall in line, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu fired back: "The U.S. attorney general asked for a response by today, so here it is ... Stop attacking our cities to hide your administration's failures."

That's the kind of fearless leadership EMILYs List women bring to city halls across America. 

And right now, some of the most important fights of 2025 aren't happening in Congress — they're happening in our communities. Together, we can elect more Democratic pro-choice women mayors. Donate today to help make it happen:

We've proudly endorsed a slate of mayoral candidates so far this cycle. Meet our extraordinary candidates: 

Michelle Wu (Boston) -- Primary: Sept. 9th
Michelle Wu (Boston)— History-making mayor seeking reelection after delivering fare-free transit, stronger housing protections, and a bold Green New Deal for Boston.

Eileen Higgins (Miami) -- Just Endorsed!
Eileen Higgins (Miami)— County commissioner, engineer, and business leader running for mayor on a vision of inclusion, resilience, and opportunity.

Helena Moreno (New Orleans) -- Oct. 11
Helena Moreno (New Orleans) City Council president who's taken on crime prevention, energy, and infrastructure — and fought corruption every step of the way.

Mary Sheffield (Detroit)
Mary Sheffield (Detroit)City Council president running for mayor to invest in neighborhoods and keep Detroit moving forward.

Vi Lyles (Charlotte) -- Just Endorsed!
Vi Lyles (Charlotte)— Mayor seeking reelection with a proven record on affordable housing, job creation, and building an equitable city for all.

And let's not forget — EMILYs List candidates have already had two BIG mayoral victories this year: Barbara Lee (Oakland) and Gina Ortiz Jones (San Antonio)!

Your support fuels this movement. Donate today to help elect the next generation of Democratic pro-choice mayors — women who will keep fighting for our cities, families, and future:
