Membership Alert for John: ACTIVATION PENDING

  John, right now, when you look at the attacks on our essential rights in states across the country, it’s clear that we need a real political transformation. That’s why Emerge women are running for office in unprecedented numbers at every level of government. We’ve pulled the…

Two powerhouse women to watch right now

John, we had to make sure these two Emerge alums were on your radar as their primaries take place on Aug. 2. Katie Hobbs and Mallory McMorrow are both daring to speak up and have the audacity to demand better for our communities – and for democracy itself.  Katie Hobbs, Em…

reaching out before my next meeting

John, I have a quick 15 minutes between meetings, so I want to make sure you saw our last update. These days, our shared purpose and connectedness in the Emerge sisterhood matters more than ever. That’s why I’m traveling as much as I can to support our state affiliates, alums, and engage …

On the road with A'shanti

  Hi John,  We’re reaching out with a quick update on the work Emerge President A’shanti Gholar has been doing this summer to support our alums, build the Emerge community, and inspire Democratic women across the country to transform politics at every level. A’shanti tra…

Primaries DO matter, and we need your help

Primaries matter, John. They’re the critical point in the election cycle when we get to choose our community champions – and elevate the boldest and bravest candidates fighting back against the far-right’s agenda. That’s how we get powerhouse Democratic women on the ballot in November and…

This is how we change the course of our country

  John, we'll be blunt.  As the far-right escalates their attacks on our bodies and on our democracy itself, political “experts” STILL insist that “moderate” white men are the candidates we need to fight back. But that’s wrong, John. It’s simply inaccurate, and it’s a plan…

A moment with our ultimate shero

  John,  Did you hear what Stacey Abrams, one of our ultimate sheroes, said in conversation with Emerge President A’shanti Gholar about the power we have to transform our country? Just in case you missed it, we had to share this moment with you:  Believing that we can mak…

Feeling encouraged

John, we’re living through a critical moment in our country’s history – but today, I’m feeling encouraged. Let me tell you why.  Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and opened the door to increasing attacks on our basic rights, community members like YOU have st…

a quick note to follow up

  John, I’m writing to follow up on our last email. With the far-right’s dangerous agenda on full display, we must remember that – as the Emerge community – our efforts to transform politics and elect the leaders we deserve are still making a real difference: Over 400 Emerge al…

we can't say this enough: we need MORE women in office

  John: The decision to overturn Roe v. Wade was made out of step with most of the country and by the members of an extreme Supreme Court, most of whom nominated by presidents who lost the popular vote. That’s not real representation. That’s minority rule. Real representa…

Proof that our strategy is working

  John, the ultraconservative Supreme Court majority seems committed to failing in its duty to protect our rights. But we are not powerless in the face of their decisions. When the courts fail to protect our rights, it's on us to step up. But here's the good news: In this year'…

Here's why we're WINNING in the primaries

  John, there’s a reason Emerge alums are sweeping the primaries this year. That’s because voters are excited to see candidates who truly represent their communities. So today, we’re celebrating our barrier breaking alums who’ve WON their primaries and will advance to the November …

they did it. now we keep fighting

John, they did it. The Supreme Court just delivered their decision on Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, effectively overturning Roe v. Wade and revoking federal protections for abortion. Even though we knew this decision was coming, it's still a profoundly heavy bl…

Emerge Primary Update (good news!)

  John: Primary elections are one of the biggest hurdles facing grassroots Democratic women. Why? So-called political “wisdom” says Black and Brown women, women of color, LGBTQ+ women, unmarried women, and young women just aren’t “electable” enough to go head-to-head with the GOP. …
