Hi John,

Last week marked Women’s Equality Day, and given that women currently make up just 23% of Congress and 29% of state legislatures, Emerge’s work is critical in our continued fight for parity.

But politics isn’t the only place where women have been left behind — our alums are fighting to improve access and quality of health care for women at every level of government.

Emerge alums across the country are working to make health care more equitable, accessible, and affordable. If you agree that everyone should have access to quality health care add your name here. [[link removed]]

We’re seeing women who work in health care fields stepping up to run and address these issues head-on. In Massachusetts, our alum State Representative Liz Miranda led the way on a bill studying the racial disparities in maternal health because our health care system has failed Black women and mothers for too long.

In Washington, Emerge alum and nurse Lori Feagan has stepped up to run because she’s seen firsthand how policy decisions impact their medical practice and their patients' experience.

And in Arizona, Dr. Hiral Tipirneni is running for Congress after serving her community as an emergency room physician, cancer research advocate, and supporting the county’s public health care delivery system for more than twenty years.

Right now the Trump administration is using the courts to dismantle access to affordable health care for millions of Americans, which means electing officials who both understand the obstacles and can create solutions for improving access to health care is more important than ever. But we know this will only come from filling the pipeline with more women who have lived experience working in health care — if you stand with our alums and believe that health care should be affordable and accessible for everyone — add your name.

Thank you for standing with our alums,

Danielle

This email was sent to [email protected]. Emerge is a national organization working to recruit, train, and get Democratic women elected across the country, and we are so grateful to have you on our team. Our alums are strong voices for Democratic values — and they are working to bring their values up and down the ballot to fight for working families. They are fighting for critical issues that affect our communities like the environment, accessible and affordable healthcare, social justice and education equity. We need more alums fighting for us across the country.

Email is the best way for us to keep you informed about what’s happening with our work. You may notice that we send a lot of emails asking for your support⁠—that’s because we win when everyone does what they can to help. Our organization depends on thousands of actual people who care about our democracy and want to see positive change in our communities and across our country by building power through investing in Democratic women.
