LD2 News – WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH

LET'S MAKE HERSTORY TOGETHER

There are many general (and specific) ways to celebrate Women's History Month, such as:

Hold events to recognize and honor women who have made significant contributions to politics or society. Attend next week's LD2 Monthly to honor Rep. Judy Schwiebert, who has made such a significant impact on our community.
Create content that highlights the achievements and struggles of women throughout history. Get connected to LD2's social media and post your thoughts.
Collaborating with women's organizations to advocate for policies that promote gender equality and women's rights. Get signed up for the Right to Speak (RTS).
Organizing volunteer opportunities that allow members to give back to their communities. Learn about the upcoming Food Drive at the monthly meeting this week, sign-up to help, and bring forward new ideas for how we can support women and children.

DONATE TO LD2 AND WIN A GIFT CARD!

If you’re reading this newsletter, you know the importance of voting in all elections and understand the process. However, not all of our LD2 neighbors do, so one of the uses of our funds is for the purpose of creating literature and mailers to help educate the voters of LD2 about the importance of elections – especially down ballot local races. Consider becoming a recurring donor to LD2 and you will be automatically entered to win a gift card for your recurring donation!

Anyone can donate - you don’t have to live in LD2.

How about $20.23 for LD2 in 2023?

If you have any questions, please contact LD2 Treasurer Truly Bone at Treasurer@azld2dems.org
