What will it take to achieve a society that prioritizes—and achieves—true equality? We are thrilled to present the Winter 2023 installment of Women & Democracy , created in partnership with the leadership of and community at Supermajority Education Fund, to answer that question. We welcome you to explore this artful series featuring the five Majority Rules and the inevitable Super Rule : The lives and experiences of women—particularly women of color—are front and center in addressing all of our nation’s challenges.
Articulating the Majority Rules and the values they reflect—safety, respect, autonomy, full and fair representation—is the first essential step toward achieving gender equality. Immerse yourself in the various videos and essays narrated and penned by leading voices; scroll down for snippets of what our own teams have to say. We look forward to hearing from all of you, too—and to working together to ensure that an equality agenda prevails.
