| The State of Women's Leadership | ||||||||
While 2021 continues to be a tough year, it's clear that there were a number of historic 2020 election wins for women and LGBTQ folks in state legislatures, Congress, and even the White House with the landmark election of Vice President-elect Kamala Harris. Women, especially Black women, have made clear that we are central to our nation's success: We're voters, organizers, and increasingly, political leaders. The Center for American Progress's new column, The State of Women's Leadership--And How to Continue Changing the Face of U.S. Politics, analyzes the state of women's political leadership in the U.S. post-2020 and highlights specific policy recommendations to remove barriers to office for women and LGBTQ candidates. Despite major gains, we are still far from a reflective democracy. In order to continue changing the face of U.S. politics, we need to actively recruit candidates outside of traditional networks, improve wages and work-family policies, foster a workplace culture of equity and respect on the campaign trail, and more. Best, Shilpa Phadke, VP, Women's Initiative Center for American Progress
