Hi there,
On Thursday, during the vote to confirm soon-to-be Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, VP Kamala Harris handed Senator Raphael Warnock a piece of paper and suggested he write a note to "someone who comes to mind."
He wrote a note to his daughter, Chloé:
From @ReverendWarnock to his daughter, Chloé. ♥️ #RepresentationMatters #KetanjiBrownJackson
This note resonated with the team at HBM. At the root of our work is the notion that "representation matters." It matters for people to see people who look like them doing extraordinary things – it shows them what's possible for themselves.
There are still 20 states that have never elected a female governor. Throughout American history, only five out of the 115 Supreme Court Justices have ever been women (soon to be 6), and, of course, there has still never been a female U.S. president.
There are so many glass ceilings left to shatter – and that's exactly why Her Bold Move exists. We elect women to the seats that have only ever been filled by men. With your help, we'll give young women across the country a chance to see people who look like them in the rooms where decisions are being made.

During her confirmation speech at the White House on Friday, Jackson remarked that she was “standing on the shoulders of her own role models” and mentioned Judge Constance Baker Motley, who served as the first Black woman on a federal court.
"For all the talk of this historic nomination and now confirmation, I think of them as the true path-breakers," she said. "I'm just the very lucky inheritor of the dream of liberty and justice for all."
Our mission to shatter glass ceilings is also a promise to the women of the future – to our daughters. We've been saying from the beginning: we want to give young girls the role models they need, young boys the role models they deserve, and Americans of all ages the kind of leadership they didn't know was possible. We are working diligently to make that a reality. Help us elect progressive women up and down the ballot, so we can continue to make history, by contributing $25 today.
