John,
After the Women’s March in 2017, everyone who marched had to contend with a difficult fact: too many white women supported Trump in the 2016 election.
Women’s March knew that as a big, multi-racial organization, at least one part of our work was clear: we needed to organize white women to part with Trump and get active in the Trump resistance.
We got to work with a multi-racial feminist movement and now women, led by women of color, are the biggest threat to Trump’s re-election. According to CNN, "There are multiple reasons why Trump is in such trouble, but chief among them is women."1
We’re seeing the largest political divide between genders in generations.2
While men are inching toward the President, women voters aren’t just running away from Trump, they’re actively organizing against him. Women of color have long-been stalwarts against candidates like Trump, but combined with women who’ve been activated since 2016 – a new unified political bloc is forming, the likes of which we've never seen.
If not for women, this election would be largely up for grabs. But we aren’t taking anything for granted. That’s why we’re going full steam ahead, mobilizing as many women as possible to vote and building the biggest Women2Women organizing program this election.
It’s why we’ve sent over 10.5 million text messages to women voters in 16 states. These one-on-one conversations are proven to win elections.
Women’s political identity as a unified and organized voting bloc is growing by the day, and if we can continue this momentum, we can defeat Trump and change the political landscape in this country. Will you chip in to help us build this momentum?
There is a shift happening, John. Across race and place, women are coming together to change the course of this country, and you’re a key part of that.
Onward,
Rachel
