In partnership with Indivisible Philadelphia and Turn PA Blue we're hosting our final informal meet-and-greet of the summer with three exciting Democratic women candidates on September 13th:
Stop by for happy hour and engage with these inspiring candidates in a casual setting to:
- Hear where they stand on the issues
- Learn how you can help them WIN and turn PA blue
- Help advance gender parity in our state government
In a time when regressive politics are threatening equal rights and putting our democracy in jeopardy, Democratic women are answering the call and fighting back by running for office in record numbers across the country, and particularly in PA.
Currently in PA, only 49 of our 253 state legislators are women (that's only 19.4% of the General Assembly). At the federal level, only 19.3 of the US House of Representatives are women. We've got a long way to go to achieving gender parity in our state and federal government. It starts with us.
This year, your engagement, your activism, and your vote matters more than ever. Our summer series is designed to connect you with Democratic candidates and empower you to make a material impact in November's election.
