Check out our event in Chicago during yesterday’s #DNCConventions2024! We teamed up with @RepresentWomen for “Women are the Winning Strategy: Solutions from the States,” hearing inspiring strategies from women leaders on building local power and achieving gender parity. Thanks to all who joined us!

Amazing conversations about women’s representation & #RankedChoiceVoting at the @LWV conference in Washington, DC‼️ Great to be here with teammates @alissashaw_ & Eileen from @RankTheVoteUSA‼️#RulesMatter

Our @ParityIndex map that grades states for the number of women in elected office is a big hit at the @LWV conference— great conversation starter abt the need for #SystemsStrategies like #RankedChoiceVoting 🗳️ that elect more women to office!

Our Executive Director, @CynthiaRTerrell, and her husband, @Rob_Richie, were honored with the Generational Impact Award for their contributions to democracy reform. RepresentWomen proudly continues to honor and celebrate their relentless dedication to #FairRepresentation.

We're working late because the fight for a fair democracy never stops! #WomensRepresentation #WomenWorking #FairRepresentation

This week, the RepresentWomen team was honored to celebrate young women leaders at the 18th Annual Young Women to Watch Awards hosted by @runningstart. Founded by @SusannahWDC the organization empowers young women in politics.

I love everything about @runningstart but especially love that the entire room filled with members of Congress, Running Start alums & supporters all use #RankedVotingChoice to select the winner of the #YoungWomentoWatch award!! 🧡💙🧡💙🧡

@StevenHill1776 @RepresentWomen Great piece, Steven, as always! Thanks for uplifting this timely research- read the full brief here: representwomen.app.box.com/s/cvy5q3h2czfc…

Latest from #DemocracySOS. New excellent report from @RepresentWomen showing Black women among most politically underrepresented Americans. democracysos.substack.com/p/breaking-bar… It's not just racism, it's also significant structural barriers in candidate recruitment by parties, in campaign finance inequities, and in widespread use of race-washing #WinnerTakeAll electoral system. Democrats and GOP could reverse all this! What are they waiting for?

At our NASS Winter Reception, we heard inspiring remarks from @VermontSOS & honored @ShennaBellows, Molly Fitzpatrick, @alaskans4abe, @colorcoalition, @rcvresources, @wearedemocracyrising, & @americanprogress for their championing #RankedChoiceVoting & fostering inclusivity! 💜🗳️
