Message from the President

While difficult to believe, it is hard to ignore that as redistricting fights begin and medical infrastructure on the verge of collapse while our children have started school, we are hurtling toward the end of the year. In 2022, we are going to have some crucial elections that will literally determine the future of democracy both here in Texas and as a nation. We are banding together with organizations all over DFW in a coalition to save our communities and our future by educating, empowering, and electing women.
Everyone has the chance to help in some way. Examples include but are not limited to: -
Thought leaders and recurring voices for our activist task forces that focus on legislative action, candidate endorsement and support, sharing our message on social media
-
Taking notes for our meetings
-
Recording all in person meetings for posting on our YouTube channel & sharing live for increased access
-
Creating accurate captions for our recorded videos
-
Creating image descriptions for our online media
Requirements: ability and willingness to attend once a month virtual board meetings (1-2 hours) spreading action items for task force monthly, and supporting general events we host every other month, raising awareness and spreading the message of educating, empowering, and electing women. Joining our membership which is only $15-$30 annually to support our women candidates.
Our kids, our healthcare workers, our immunocompromised, our LGBTQ+, our disabled, our people of color, and our right to vote are at stake. Whether you have five minutes a month or five minutes a day, there is some way for you to participate. And we look forward to you joining the movement.
