With women bearing the brunt of COVID-fueled challenges, women’s voices (and their votes) will be critical during the November 2020 elections. There has never been a more important time to ensure that women’s needs and experiences are represented up and down the ballot—from the local to the federal level.
Despite growing numbers of women candidates, women remain dramatically underrepresented at every level of government, with women comprising less than 25% of Congress and less than 30% of state legislatures nationwide. Now, women running for elected office are likely to see disproportionate impacts of the current crisis, as fundraising becomes more difficult and family care needs are skyrocketing.
This Take Action Tuesday, ensure that women’s voices are represented during the 2020 elections.
