Democracy = the power of the people. Women are 51% of the people. Yet unlike men, the vast majority of women and girls have never even imagined their power in elected leadership. We can change this together.

How can I help?
I’m ready to help get more women in the halls of power.
The majority of women and girls in the U.S. are not thinking about the essential role they play in public leadership. This needs to be part of our everyday lives.
The way forward starts with you
Use your voice to start a conversation about civic engagement, encourage a woman to lead, or give to support She Should Run’s mission.
Encourage a Woman You Know
Women don’t run at the same rate as men. One reason? They aren’t asked. Send a digital postcard via email, social media, or SMS to a woman who should lead.
