Mary Gay just texted us about Rep. Ted Yoho's shameful and sexist attack on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez -- and AOC's now-viral response to being called a "fucking bitch" on the steps of the Capitol: "But hey, “b*tches” get stuff done. 🤷🏽♀️"
John, the only way we're going to stop misogyny from seeping further into our country is by electing women to replace men like Ted Yoho at all levels of government.
We jumped on the conference line with Mary Gay after this text to build out our strategy to raise $20,000 before Friday night so we can endorse and cut checks to as many women running as possible.
With just three days to reach our goal, we're relying on you to help us send the record number of women who have stepped up to run across the country to fight for families, our children, better jobs, gender equity, commonsense firearm safety, health care, and reproductive justice to serve in elected office.
We can't help these women overcome the systemic barriers and prejudices that can impact the success of their campaigns -- and in many cases, prevent them from running for office at all -- without YOU.
If you care about taking our country back, then we MUST elect more women to positions of power this November.
Thank you for all that you do,
A Woman's Place
