John,

Our country and institutions are in need of a reconstruction, and Emerge President A’shanti Gholar and I agree that electing more women of color is critical to building a more just and equitable society.

Emerge’s investment in communities across the country gets us closer to widespread gender and racial representation — at every level of government.

This Women's History Month, Emerge has set a goal of raising $12,000, and I have no doubt they can hit it with the support of folks just like you. If you’re able, John, make a contribution to support their work to elect more women of color.

CONTRIBUTE $12

I am so proud to have been a founding board member of Emerge Massachusetts, and to continue to support Emerge and their 4,500 alums across the country.

Emerge is so special, in part because of their reach and the depth of their engagement. If you took a poll of women running for office across the country — or even just considering a campaign — many of them would likely have talked with A’shanti or one of the incredible Executive Directors on the ground in their community.

Now, more than ever, we need women in elected office who remain rooted in community and ready to pursue bold solutions to the pressing challenges we face. That’s who Emerge is committed to supporting.

You may have heard me say that support is a verb, especially when you are building something new. It is a demonstrated action, so if you can, please contribute to support this critical work so they can continue to train and work to elect more women of color.

Thank you for joining me as a part of this amazing community,

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley
