John xxxxxx,
We know it’s the end of the month, which means you’re probably seeing a ton of fundraising emails coming in from political candidates – and it can be hard to break through that noise.
But here’s the thing, women candidates (and organizations) rely on grassroots donations at a much higher rate than male candidates. Recent data found that 70% more of the funds women candidates are able to raise come from small dollar donations.
Women are still fighting for access to the money networks men have relied on for generations. Male candidates are more likely to self-fund their campaigns, male donors are more likely to give to male candidates, and men account for the vast majority of political giving.
This cycle, I’m asking you to take a simple but powerful step: look at what you’ve given to male candidates, and consider matching that support with a contribution to Her Bold Move.
Matching your giving to Her Bold Move is one way to help correct the imbalance — not by supporting one race at a time, but by investing in the infrastructure women candidates need to be viable, competitive, and well-supported throughout the cycle. Send your match donation below!

Women candidates are not underfunded because they are less viable. They are underfunded because the political money ecosystem still rewards the candidates who have historically had the easiest access to wealth, networks, and early institutional support. At the state legislative level — where so many political careers begin — men still outgive women by more than 2-to-1.
That matters because access to funds shapes everything: whether a candidate is taken seriously, whether she can hire staff, reach voters, survive a primary, and prove viability to larger donors and endorsing organizations. Too often, women running lower down the ballot are asked to tell the story of how they are viable through fundraising numbers alone – but, at Her Bold Move, we’ve seen how that metric can paint a misleading picture.
That’s where we come in.
We help women candidates build the campaigns they need to win — especially in the races that are overlooked, underfunded, and decided by the smallest margins. We provide the strategic support, visibility, volunteer power, and campaign infrastructure women need to compete in a system that was not built for them.
So if you have already invested in male candidates this cycle, I hope you’ll make a matching investment in the fastest-growing national support network for women candidates.
Not as charity. Not as symbolism. As a strategy.

Thank you for understanding the importance of this work,
Jordan Zaslow
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.
