From the AAUW Action Network:
One important strategy for making progress and protecting hard-fought gains on issues important to women is to increase women’s turnout at the polls. As more women get involved in the electoral process, women’s influence in politics will increase and politicians will be forced to respond to the interests of women voters.
AAUW has released a new resource, Woman-to-Woman Voter Turnout: A Manual for Community-Based Campaigns to Mobilize Women to Vote, to provide assistance and encouragement to advocates so that together we can make a positive impact on the turnout of women voters. Making progress on equity for women and girls doesn’t just require pressuring Congress on legislation. We must also turn out women on Election Day to hold those same legislators accountable.
Take Action!
