In the last two years, women have really changed the political game and we want to talk about it. We've seen women run against establishment men accused of sexual assault and win. We've seen women be out-raised by their opponent and win. Overall, we've seen women run and win at higher rates than ever before. We want to talk about this. We hope you'll join us on March 28th from 6:30-8:00PM in Charlotte for our second Women in Politics Town Hall! We're excited to host this candid conversation...

We want to meet these women and help them be successful! Our Get Ready to Run training is designed for women thinking about running in...

We're so excited about the start of the 2019 legislative session. Now that conservatives no longer have a super-majority in both the House and the Senate, we have more power to enact the progressive policies of our Featured Candidates. We have started the session off strong with a bill to expand Medicaid that was introduced in both chambers. We're so proud to see  many of our Featured Candidates as sponsors of the bill. In the House, all primary sponsors of the Medicaid expansion bill are...
