BY MS. EDITORS | We know the 2022 midterms are going to be as consequential an election as this nation has ever seen. Record numbers of women are now registering to vote every day. Abortion rights, equality—and democracy itself—are all on the ballot.
In this Women & Democracy installment, aptly named Women Saving Democracy , we take a deep dive into the very state of our nation’s systems of justice and democracy; we explore how women’s leadership makes a difference; and we assess what kinds of reforms could ensure more fair representation and democratic outcomes. We’re proud to feature a diverse slate of powerhouse women who serve in an array of roles—as attorneys general, secretaries of state, and local election officials, from across the country and representing both parties—through reported pieces, their own firsthand accounts, pre-recorded video events, and Ms. Studios podcast episodes. And look for a few special features too, including an in-depth piece on how to ensure more women are prepared to run, win, and lead in 2022 and beyond.
Below, explore the project — and be sure to visit the landing page for more reported pieces, firsthand accounts from election officials, video events with women political leaders, and podcast episodes.
