C’mon Get Happy
Lillian’s List is coming to Wrightsville Beach this month to host a Happy Hour and Help Her Win training for our coastal supporters. We hope you will join us, along with hometown hero Rep. Deb Butler, on Friday, October 18th at 6pm for an empowering evening of fun, food, and drinks at the Blockade Runner. After gaining nationwide recognition for courageously standing up to NC Republican’s brazen trickery and deception on 9/11, we are sure Rep. Butler will have plenty of stories to share.
Very sad news
We were heartbroken to learn of the passing of our co-founder, Jan Allen over the weekend. Twenty-two years ago Jan founded Lillian's List with Laura Edwards and together they changed the fabric of our state and made North Carolina a better place to be a woman. Jan got her start as one of the first women managers at IBM in Research Triangle Park. After she retired, she funneled her abundant energy into getting North Carolina to pass the ERA. She was heavily involved in NOW before she moved on...
Match Extended
Lead with Lillian is less than two weeks away, and a generous donor, Sara Anna Smith, is matching all contributions toward the event up to $2,500–but only until midnight on Thursday, the 5th!

Internships Fall 2019
The Lillian’s List educational internship program offers valuable political experience while helping elect progressive women, who are champions of reproductive freedom, up and down the ticket! We offer spring, summer, and fall internships. Interns have the opportunity to gain skills in development, communication, campaign services, database management, and other areas of political work.
Women at the Top
2020 is shaping up to be an even more exciting election season than 2018. The campaign season is starting earlier and NCGA candidates have already declared to get a jump on fundraising. This is a smart strategy since many of the progressive candidates have outraised their opponents! We love that this election cycle is already so busy since it means progressives, pro-choice legislators may finally take over one or both chambers in the General Assembly. We have been on the ground recruiting...
