In honor of Women's History Month the City of Los Angeles and the Mayor's Gender Equity Team, in partnership with Mount Saint Mary's University (MSMU) are excited to host an event aimed at increasing the number of buildings, streets, landmarks, and facilities named after women. The event is bringing people together to help collect information on the influential women of Los Angeles. <span style="font-size: 12.8px; font-variant-ligatures: normal;">The information gathered will be used to create the City's first ever digital Women's Rights Historic Context as well as produce a list of influential Angelenas to have accessible when needing to name a landmark. The Historic Context will tell the narrative and provide a timeline of the milestones involved in the women's rights movement of Los Angeles. </span>If she can't see it, she can't be it! </div>

Clearly state why you are running to demonstrate the skin you have in this election. As an abuse survivor, Winfrey is a credible standard bearer for the #MeToo movement’s call for safety and equality.</div>

When you share why you care it helps the audience understand that your candidacy is not a career move, but a stride towards change. Boston City Councilor Ayanna Pressley, who is wife and daughter to formerly incarcerated Black men says her <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9OFk0yGUDs" style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e71c3a; font-family: Oxygen, Arial, Helvetica, 'Nimbus Sans L', sans-serif; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.3s ease-in-out; vertical-align: baseline;">reasons for serving</a> are different from the older, white incumbent Congressman she’s challenging. Pressley describes her candidacy as an intentional force to dismantle barriers and provide opportunity for everyone.</div>

Women candidates are redefining what it means to be qualified. They are reevaluating how they view their life experiences as moms, daughters, sisters and partners. And, they are saying I can do the job.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f7f7f7; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: Karla, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 20px; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 2;">
In a remarkable ad, <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/sol-flores-ad_us_5a830347e4b00ecc923eac16" style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e71c3a; font-family: Oxygen, Arial, Helvetica, 'Nimbus Sans L', sans-serif; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.3s ease-in-out; vertical-align: baseline;">Sol Flores</a> tells how she overcame sexual abuse to show her readiness to fight for others. Flores pledges to fight as hard in Congress as she did to protect her 11-year old self from the man who preyed on her. It is a powerful story because Flores has carefully thought out how she describes the ordeal and speaks from a place of strength.</div>

By touting life experience as an advantage, women can reassure voters their personal lives won’t interfere with working on their behalf. Former Congresswoman Pat Schroeder said, “I have a brain and a uterus and I use them both.” Case in point, newly elected Virginia state legislator Kathy Tran who knocked on doors with infant daughter Elise in tow and brought her along for the swearing in ceremony. And, U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth an Iraqi war veteran who announced she is pregnant and will be the first sitting senator to give birth in office. These leaders are serving so they can deliver maternity care, paid family leave, and safe schools.</div>

Make a value connection.</strong></div>

Personal stories reflect the values many voters long to have affirmed. Winfrey told us about Recy Taylor who was gang raped by six armed, white men who left her to die on the side of a road. No one was ever prosecuted for the crime in Jim Crow Alabama. Winfrey asked us to respect Taylor and care about justice for all who’ve endured abuse.</div>

A strong statement of belief is more compelling than data. Numbers add support to an argument but alone won’t move people. It is difficult for political opponents to convincingly sway others by attacking someone’s core beliefs. Plus, a value statement is a good defense against fake news.</div>

Pennsylvania doesn’t have a single woman in its Congressional delegation and Chrissy Houlahan is running to be a new voice. The Air Force veteran is the mother of a lesbian and the daughter of an immigrant who could not stand by and watch the current administration disparage members of her family. While it’s possible to disagree with Houlahan on an issue such as the deportation of Dreamers, it’s harder to argue against the value she places on protecting families.</div>

Winfrey spoke forcefully without the aid of a prompter. In a deceivingly effortless manner, she: (1) thanked the people who inspired her, (2) commended the Hollywood Foreign Press, (3) honored silence breakers, and (4) encouraged us to keep hope alive. The <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2018/01/08/entertainment/oprah-globes-speech-transcript/index.html" style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e71c3a; font-family: Oxygen, Arial, Helvetica, 'Nimbus Sans L', sans-serif; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.3s ease-in-out; vertical-align: baseline;">transcript</a> of the speech is a model of organization and precision writing. Arrange content into chapters so you don’t leave out something important – acknowledge supporters, share accomplishments, lay out contrast with opponent, and ask for their vote.</div>

Winfrey later said she worried about being cut off before finishing. Let a pen be your mighty warrior sword. Start by putting the stump on paper so it can be internalized. And, wordsmithed. Winfrey used specific details to add texture and create vivid images with lines like: “sitting on the linoleum floor” and “bone-tired from cleaning other people’s house.”</div>

Don’t hesitate to use notes to prompt the flow and phrasing. A few notecards signal time was taken to prepare and they can serve as a security blanket if nervous.</div>

The power words were matched by Winfrey’s fierce bearing and the velocity of her sound<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fN5HV79_8B8" style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e71c3a; font-family: Oxygen, Arial, Helvetica, 'Nimbus Sans L', sans-serif; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.3s ease-in-out; vertical-align: baseline;">. Listen to the variance</a> in the pace as it accelerated to 165-words per minute when she thanked her supporters. Then slowed to a deliberate 100-word tempo: “But their time is up. Their time is up. Their time is up.” The commanding cadence ensured her conviction rang loud and clear, “A new day is on the horizon.”</div>

Many Americans are seeking the conviction women candidates offer. Even with all the women currently running they <a href="http://www.cawp.rutgers.edu/footnotes/pink-wave-note-caution" style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e71c3a; font-family: Oxygen, Arial, Helvetica, 'Nimbus Sans L', sans-serif; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.3s ease-in-out; vertical-align: baseline;">make up less than a quarter of all</a> likely Congressional candidates. Breaking through a field crowded with white, male voices requires a speech that resonates with people who are disgusted with the way things are being run.</div>

The 2018 primary season is officially underway, and that means gender is already shaping campaigns and media coverage. Among the top headlines following the nation’s first primary in Texas was that <a href="http://www.genderwatch2018.org/primary-results-women-texas/" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(42, 83, 193); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2b2c30; display: inline; outline: none; position: relative; text-decoration: none;">more than half of the 53 women running for Congress won nominations or qualified for runoffs</a>. In several races, women will face off against each other.</div>

With or without a woman on the ballot, gender dynamics have always played an important, if complicated, role in electoral politics. In 2015, <a href="http://presidentialgenderwatch.org/" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(42, 83, 193); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2b2c30; display: inline; outline: none; position: relative; text-decoration: none;">we launched a groundbreaking project</a> to illuminate and track the influence of gender during an unprecedented presidential campaign.

<span class="s3">A Message from the President</span></div>
<div class="p6">
<span class="s1">Happy March! It’s Women’s History Month and time to really buckle down and make sure we elect more women this year. This is a preview of what is included below.</span></div>
<div class="p7">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p6">
<span class="s1">California will have many women on the ballot for statewide office, Congress, the Legislature, and local government. Many women have already been endorsed by NWPC-CA, starting with our candidate for Governor, <a href="https://nwpcca.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4202f128392ef69af88160aee&id=fb1680e781&e=0ee7efb7fe"><span class="s4">Delaine Eastin</span></a>. We anticipate many more endorsements at the state and local level. As we’ve seen over recent years, the more women run, the more women win! We can make history in California this year if we work hard enough.</span></div>
<div class="p7">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p6">
<span class="s1">There are countervailing forces. While some women did well at the California Democratic Convention last weekend, the “good old boys” syndrome kept some great women from gaining endorsements, or men getting endorsements in races with multiple women candidates. It won’t be another “year of the woman” until we win enough races to actually move the needle more visibly toward parity, and then build on those gains in the future. Women lost ground in the state legislature over the past 10 years—we need to get back to where we were—over 30%--and then build on that toward real equality.</span></div>
<div class="p7">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p6">
<span class="s1">Many NWPC members work hard for our endorsed candidates and deserve kudos. But our aim has to be to get more members directly involved in campaign. All of us have to stretch ourselves as much as possible. Women’s rights are being pushed back at the federal level, and California is the strongest state fighting the profoundly anti-woman Trump administration. The more women in office we have, from U.S. Senate (NWPC has endorsed Senator Dianne Feinstein) to the most obscure local office, the stronger we’ll be in creating true equality and a political system that works for everybody. I look forward to NWPC-CA having a real role in getting us closer this year.</span></div>
<div class="p7">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p6">
<span class="s1">In Sisterhood,</span></div>

<span class="s1">Highlights of the California Democratic Party Convention</span></div>
<div class="p8">
<span class="s1">San Diego, weekend of Feb. 23-25</span></div>
<div class="p9">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li10"><span class="s1">Everybody should go to a major political convention at least once—it’s a raucous, chaotic, overblown, frantic, yet joyous celebration of the democratic process (small “d”). Interest –group caucuses, late-night parties, backroom intrigue, general sessions where speakers are ignored as often as not, and a general overall sense that something important is happening, even amidst the chaos, make it an experience well worth having—at least once in your life. And the Dems (“I don’t belong to any organized political party. I’m a Democrat” said Will Rogers)—are usually more fun than anybody else.</span></li>
<li class="li10"><span class="s1">The effort to help Delaine in the endorsement contest with “the boys” was really successful—she greatly exceeded expectations coming in a strong third, with 20% of the vote, and she helped deny an endorsement to any other candidate. It proves that when Delaine gets heard, she gets votes! <a href="https://nwpcca.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4202f128392ef69af88160aee&id=20a19fa9f9&e=0ee7efb7fe"><span class="s5">Watch her speech here</span></a>.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></li>
<li class="li10"><span class="s1">We were delighted by how many women candidates showed up and campaigned actively. Kudos to our endorsed candidates Betty Yee and Fiona Ma for their CDP endorsements, and to endorsed Lt. Gov. candidate Eleni Kounalakis for coming in 2nd – by only one point! – to Ed Hernandez. And to many others who created a strong feminist presence at the convention.</span></li>
<li class="li10"><span class="s1">It was disappointing that Senator Dianne Feinstein, endorsed by NWPC, did not win the party endorsement. It must be a wake-up call that her re-election is not a given, and we need to step up for her. And just for the record, DiFi is NOT “soft” on Trump!</span></li>
<li class="li10"><span class="s1">We were incensed by the misogyny evident in the crowds who heckled Dianne and Delaine, but none of the male candidates, when their speech time ran out. Almost every speaker spoke too long (they’re politicians, for heaven’s sake!), but calls of “time’s up!” were aimed only at the two women.<br />
<br />
All in all, we have a lot of work to do if we want to ensure gender parity among all institutions, including the democratic party. Many of our members are Democrats. But that doesn't give the Party a free pass when they ignore qualified women candidates that have just as good as a chance - if not more - as their male counterparts to win in a heated race against Donald Trump apologists. </span></li>

To build on the momentum of her good showing at the Democratic Convention, NWPC’s endorsed candidate for Governor of California, Delaine Eastin, will hold a “Day of Action” on Saturday, March 10—the middle of Women’s History Month. If you’ve already signed up as a volunteer or contributor on Delaine’s website (<a href="https://nwpcca.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4202f128392ef69af88160aee&id=4262e22ad1&e=0ee7efb7fe"><span class="s5">www.delaineforgovernor.com</span></a>), you should be getting information on the plans to canvass and call voters. If you haven’t signed up, please go to the website and do so—you can’t have a successful grassroots campaign without the grassroots workers!</span></div>
<div class="p10">
<span class="s1">Also, Delaine continues to be doing more with less—but she urgently needs your financial help to keep this campaign momentum building. Please go to her website and donate online or get instructions for sending a check. If you can do a monthly contribution, that’s even better. The next reporting deadline is March 31st—please help her look strong by making a contribution before that date!</span></div>

<span class="s1">And for the record, ALL of the NWPC endorsed candidates—statewide, Congressional, and legislative—need our help and our dollars.

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit;">A little over a year ago, protesters flooded cities and towns across the country and around the world chanting: “Hear Our Voice.” The demonstration, dubbed the </span><a href="https://www.womensmarch.com/" style="-webkit-transition: color 0.2s; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0277bd; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.2s; vertical-align: baseline;">Women’s March</a><span style="font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit;">, stood for much more than just women’s rights. Protesters marched to protect reproductive rights, LGBTQIA rights, civil rights, immigrant rights, environmental justice and ending violence through peaceful, nonpartisan protests.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 27px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The 2017 Women’s March became the largest single-day protest in U.S. history with estimates topping more than 3 million in the States alone.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />This year, the Women’s March took to the streets again, but this time the message was different: “First we MARCH, then we VOTE.”</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 27px; vertical-align: baseline;">
With the 2018 midterm elections looming large, pressure is rising to funnel the energy around the Women’s March and other female empowerment movements we’ve seen over the last year into action. Namely, electing more women to office. Already, we are seeing the power of that call, with record numbers of women signing up to claim their seat at the table – as many as 439 women are predicted to run for Congress in 2018 alone. In a world of 50/50, we will no longer put up with 80/20.</div>

Across the county, organizations like Emily’s List, the Women’s Campaign Fund (WCF), and the National Women’s Political Caucus (<a href="http://www.nwpc.org/" style="-webkit-transition: color 0.2s; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0277bd; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.2s; vertical-align: baseline;">NWPC</a>) are actively engaged in ensuring that when these fearless women step up to the plate, they have the support network and resources needed to launch a successful campaign. Women are coming together like never before, around #metoo and #timesup, and driven by an overwhelming desire to change the system and make their voices heard. But, can we translate the #powertothepolls rallying cry into victories in November?</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 27px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The answer is yes. As the Director of Operations for the <a href="http://www.nwpclawestside.org/" style="-webkit-transition: color 0.2s; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0277bd; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.2s; vertical-align: baseline;">LA Westside Chapter</a> of the NWPC and a member of our state board, I am working every day to train, support and elect women to office here in our city and across the state. As candidates for elected office, women face unique hurdles, including party support, favorability to incumbents and insiders, balancing family life, and of course, fundraising, perhaps the biggest barrier. Our goal is, through our network of support, work to equalize the playing field as much as possible, through financial contributions and the weight of our endorsement. We know that when women run, women win – they just need the right tools.</div>

The Women’s March is part of a larger effort to ensure equality and equal representation for communities across the country. But this must begin with those who make laws in our towns, cities, states and in Washington. It’s not enough to just protest. If we want to feel real change, we must get to the polls and see it through.</div>

Election
Night was rough for Amanda Litman. As email director for Hillary
Clinton's campaign, she remembers hearing senior staff reassure the team
that their Midwestern firewall would hold, then watching Michigan,
Wisconsin and Pennsylvania slowly turn red. She remembers Clinton
campaign chairman John Podesta telling staff that they would fight until
every vote is counted, then getting an alert that <a data-reactid="232" href="http://time.com/4565000/hillary-clinton-political-farewell/" rel="">Clinton had called Trump</a> to concede. The whole evening was a "nightmare," Litman says.</div>

</div>
<div class="column small-12 medium-10 medium-offset-1 large-offset-2 text size-1x-large line-height-large _10M0Ygc4" data-reactid="266">
A few days later, something lifted Litman out of her funk: an old friend sent her a <a data-reactid="268" href="http://fortune.com/fortune500/facebook/" rel=" noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a>
message, saying she was considering running for Chicago's city council
to fix the city's failing schools. "She was like, 'Who do I ask for
help?'" Litman recalls. "I didn't have an answer." The Cook County
Democratic Party likely wouldn't invest in a rookie candidate. National
political organizations wouldn't care. Organizations like Emily's List,
which support progressive women running for office, typically don't
invest in candidates running low-level local races.<br /></div>
<div class="column small-12 medium-10 medium-offset-1 large-offset-2 text size-1x-large line-height-large _10M0Ygc4" data-reactid="272">
Litman,
27, saw an opportunity. She began asking political friends whether any
organizations supported young people who wanted to run for local office.
"If it doesn't exist, it must be hard," she reasoned. She connected
with Ross Morales Rocketto, a political operative married to one of
Litman's friends from the Clinton campaign, who had been toying with a
similar idea for years. Together, Litman and Rocketto built <a data-reactid="274" href="https://www.runforsomething.net/" rel=" noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Run For Something</a>, an organization dedicated to funding and supporting progressive millennial candidates running for local office.<br /></div>
<div class="column small-12 medium-10 medium-offset-1 large-offset-2 text size-1x-large line-height-large _10M0Ygc4" data-reactid="280">
The
new group launched on Inauguration Day. During its first week, 100
potential candidates reached out. Over the next nine months, that number
has swelled to nearly 11,000 young first-time candidates. (The group
provides support to about 75% of candidates who ask.) So far Run For
Something has raised some $400,000 from roughly 5,000 donors, including <a data-reactid="282" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/15/us/politics/hillary-clinton-onward-together.html" rel=" noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Clinton's Onward Together PAC</a>.
It has partnered with the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee to
try to turn state legislatures blue. And on Oct. 2, Litman published a
book, <a data-reactid="285" href="https://www.amazon.com/Run-Something-Real-Talk-Fixing-Yourself-ebook/dp/B071CJZXSV" rel=" noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em data-reactid="286">Run For Something</em></a>, essentially a how-to manual for young people to run for local office.<br /></div>
<div class="column small-12 medium-10 medium-offset-1 large-offset-2 text size-1x-large line-height-large _10M0Ygc4" data-reactid="288">
Run
For Something is just one of several new political organizations that
have cropped up since Trump's election to help advance progressive
politics outside Democratic party structures. <a data-reactid="290" href="https://www.sisterdistrict.com/" rel=" noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sister District</a> , <a data-reactid="293" href="https://swingleft.org/" rel=" noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Swing Left</a> and <a data-reactid="296" href="http://flippable.org/our-plan/" rel=" noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Flippable</a> direct volunteers and resources towards progressive candidates in down-ballot races.<a data-reactid="299" href="https://www.indivisible.org/" rel=" noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Indivisible</a>
has harnessed activist outrage to pressure members of Congress to
resist Trump's agenda (thousands of Indivisible members staged protested
ACA repeal at town halls across the country, which contributed to the
bill's first failure in the House.) But so far, Run For Something is the
only new group that is explicitly and exclusively focused on building a
new progressive bench of young political talent.<br /></div>
<div class="column small-12 medium-10 medium-offset-1 large-offset-2 text size-1x-large line-height-large _10M0Ygc4" data-reactid="302">
Litman
hopes the assistance her organization provides will help young women
and minorities, who are often more wary of running, take the plunge into
politics. "When I talk to old white male donors, they say ‘I’ve thought
about running for Governor or Congress,'" she says. "I’m like, ‘Of
course you have. You know who hasn’t? The young Latina woman who
should.'"<br /></div>
<div class="column small-12 medium-10 medium-offset-1 large-offset-2 text size-1x-large line-height-large _10M0Ygc4" data-reactid="304">
While
early funding can be critical in local elections, Run For Something
isn't just about cash. It's about providing a much-needed support system
for young candidates to swap tips about everything from how to canvass
to how to communicate. The group has an active Slack channel with dozens
of private conversations where first-time campaigners can compare notes
and receive guidance from more experienced operatives.<br /></div>
<div class="column small-12 medium-10 medium-offset-1 large-offset-2 text size-1x-large line-height-large _10M0Ygc4" data-reactid="306">
"A lot of those lessons I probably would have learned, but it would have been the hard way, through messing things up ," says <a data-reactid="308" href="http://www.squireforyou.com/" rel=" noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Kellen Squire,</a>
a 32-year old emergency-department nurse and father of three who is
running for the Virginia House of Delegates. Squire, who lives near
Charlottesville and works in a hospital that treated victims of the <a data-reactid="311" href="http://time.com/4898118/state-of-emergency-declared-as-violent-clashes-in-charlottesville-continue/" rel="">Charlottesville violence</a>
in August, says guidance from Run for Something helped him at the
"nascent stage," when many campaigns struggle to get off the ground. Now
he's raised about $70,000 through mostly small donations, and says he
has a real shot to oust the Republican incumbent he's challenging. "It’s
like the UVA football team going up against Alabama," Squire says. "You
can win if you play right and you don’t make too many mistakes."</div>
<div class="column small-12 medium-10 medium-offset-1 large-offset-2 text size-1x-large line-height-large _10M0Ygc4" data-reactid="314">
Garlin
Gilchrist II is running to unseat a 3-term incumbent in the race for
Detroit City Clerk this year. Gilchrist, who worked on the Obama
campaign, is a voting-rights activist who wants to bring better
management to the city's troubled election process. But running for
office while raising 4-year old twins is challenging, and Gilchrist, 35,
says he leans on the Run For Something network to help him figure out
how to balancing canvassing with childcare.<br /></div>
<div class="column small-12 medium-10 medium-offset-1 large-offset-2 text size-1x-large line-height-large _10M0Ygc4" data-reactid="316">
"Having
a national organization saying that these races matter locally, and
specifically this race matters in Detroit, and this is the guy we
support, that’s really helpful for my campaign," he says. </div>
<div class="column small-12 medium-10 medium-offset-1 large-offset-2 text size-1x-large line-height-large _10M0Ygc4" data-reactid="318">
Most
first-time candidates for office lose. But that doesn't dissuade
Litman. She cites Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton as examples of
political hopefuls who have lost elections but still made a contribution
to democracy. And with the Democratic Party still reeling over Trump's
election, she thinks it's time to empower a new generation of candidates
to step in.</div>

<li><b>CONGRATULATIONS TO ENDORSED CANDIDATE WENDY CARRILLO</b> for
advancing to the AD51 special election runoff! Assembly District 51 seat
was vacated by Jimmy Gomez when he was elected to Congress. Wendy is a
community advocate, journalist and radio host, and labor organizer who
is a strong voice for economic justice, immigrants’ rights, and women’s
rights. She was supported by NWPC-CA in the Congressional race, and her
strong showing has made her a leading candidate for the Assembly seat.

#1 spot -- but its not over yet!

<span style="font-size: 16px;">A message from NWPC California president, Karen Humphrey: </span></center>
<br />
<u><b>HOW MUCH DO YOU REALLY WANT TO SEE A WOMAN GOVERNOR IN CALIFORNIA?</b></u>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial,"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 125%; margin: 10px 0; padding: 0; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 13px;">If
the answer to the above question is “a lot!!!”, I’m asking you to get
involved directly in the campaign to elect Delaine Eastin as much and as
soon as you can.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial,"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 125%; margin: 10px 0; padding: 0; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 13px;">Here’s
the context: California has never had a woman governor, and has not
had even a progressive woman candidate for Governor since 1990, when
Kathleen Brown ran unsuccessfully. Since that time, Delaine Eastin
was hard at work: serving on her Union City Council; serving in the
California Assembly, where she headed the Education Committee; and then
serving as California’s State Superintendent of Public Instruction for
eight years between 1995 and 2003. Since leaving office, Delaine has
held major national leadership positions, taught at Mills College, and
thrown herself into promoting California education and progressive,
pro-choice women as Jane Q. Citizen. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial,"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 125%; margin: 10px 0; padding: 0; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 13px;">Nobody
else running for Governor in 2018 has the combined public service
experience (city government, legislature, AND statewide office) that
Delaine does. Nobody else running for Governor has the record of
accomplishment in both education and other major public policy issues
that she does. Nobody else running for Governor has the power to
inspire Californians as she can, as one of the most eloquent speakers in
public life. And significantly, nobody else running for Governor is a
progressive, pro-choice woman—which is long overdue in our 167-year-old
state!</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial,"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 125%; margin: 10px 0; padding: 0; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 13px;">Given
that history, her qualifications, and her lifelong support for women’s
rights and the advancement of women into public leadership, it was easy
for NWPC California to endorse Delaine for Governor earlier this year.
We knew this was the candidate who can break the “golden glass ceiling”
in the Governor’s office and provide visionary, energetic leadership
for ALL the people of California.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial,"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 125%; margin: 10px 0; padding: 0; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 13px;">Here’s
the thing, though. Delaine can only win if we put our money, our shoe
leather, our voices, and our commitment into creating the greatest
grassroots campaign in California history to elect her. She will not
have more money than the well-funded men she’s running against, nor the
adoration of single-issue crowds, or the “moth to a flame” attraction of
celebrity candidates. What she has is the grit, the determination, and
the track record of winning elections she wasn’t supposed to win. She
has the brains, the deep understanding of issues, the energy, and most
of all, the heart to help California and all the people who live here
reach their full potential.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial,"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 125%; margin: 10px 0; padding: 0; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 13px;">SO—if you aren’t convinced by now that you need to get on board in a tangible way, please reread this article. Or call me at <a href="tel:%28916%29%20730-3419" target="_blank" value="+19167303419">916-730-3419</a> or email me at <a href="mailto:president@nwpcca.org" style="color: #00add8; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">president@nwpcca.org</a>
and let me see if I can persuade you. You aren’t obligated to work for
Delaine just because you’re part of NWPC. But if you care about our
mission, you will not pass up the chance to help elect the most viable
candidate for California’s first woman governor in years, and likely our
last chance for at least eight years to come. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial,"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 125%; margin: 10px 0; padding: 0; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 13px;">If you are convinced, please go to <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=https://nwpcca.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u%3D4202f128392ef69af88160aee%26id%3De93b529e98%26e%3Db0d7982b87&source=gmail&ust=1507920649417000&usg=AFQjCNGo_GuM51GrpPu6dIOWv7nvKFUeXw" href="https://nwpcca.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4202f128392ef69af88160aee&id=e93b529e98&e=b0d7982b87" style="color: #00add8; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">www.delaineforgovernor.com</a>
and sign up as a volunteer and as a donor (best idea—give a set amount
each month automatically). Delaine needs us and she needs us now—not
next month or next year. The June primary is only eight months away.
If Delaine is one of the top two, she absolutely will win. We have to
help get her there. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial,"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 125%; margin: 10px 0; padding: 0; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 13px;">This
isn’t about NWPC or even about being politically active women. This is
about the future of our state at a critical time in the future of this
country and this is our last chance for almost a decade to put a woman
at the head of California state government. Please don’t hesitate—get
on board now!</span></div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0.75em;">
There is a growing body of knowledge about the nexus between gender equality, economic growth, and political stability. Studies by government agencies, multilateral institutions, and private sector entities have confirmed that investing in gender equity, often in the form of funding for programs and initiatives that focus on empowering women and girls, yields broad dividends for economies and societies around the world.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0.75em;">
It is unclear whether and how the Trump administration will prioritize funding for gender-specific programs which have received varying investments and attention in prior administrations; however, the empowerment of women and girls around the world must remain a central and core pillar of our nation’s national security agenda.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0.75em;">
There is compelling <a href="https://cup.columbia.edu/book/sex-and-world-peace/9780231131827" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0b82a4; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.1s linear;" target="_blank">evidence that a link exists</a> between a society’s treatment of women and its overall security and prosperity. Gender equality has, in the past, been viewed in the traditional national security paradigm as a zero-sum investment, and demonstrated benefits resulting from gender equality were considered as merely ancillary, as opposed to directly associated with a society’s strategic national security approach. However, strong evidence demonstrates that a more prosperous society and a more stable world results when women and girls are empowered; have access to services, education, and capital; and are otherwise afforded opportunities to fully participate in their societies.</div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0.75em;">
These results, in part, informed the Obama administration’s approach to its national security strategy. The State Department and other agencies during the Obama years integrated international women’s issues into the U.S. government’s national security framework. The advancement of women and girls and gender equality were not considered separate and apart from decisions about how the administration was going to combat ISIL, the threat of climate change, and other foreign policy priorities at that time. Indeed, tackling extreme poverty and violent extremism in the form of Boko Haram or ISIL, reducing child and maternal health mortality rates, and investing in programs that create stronger economies and reducing the incidents of conflict were viewed as a matter of national security.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0.75em;">
The government based these decisions on a common understanding that programs addressing gender equality were essential to chip away at the root of many global security challenges of the 21st century. Former President Obama <a href="https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2016/06/14/remarks-president-united-states-women-summit" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0b82a4; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.1s linear;" target="_blank">stated</a> last year at the United State of Women Summit that societies that oppress half the population will not reach their full potential. "This is a national security issue," he said in his remarks. "As commander-in-chief, I’ve seen how the ideology that leads Boko Haram to kidnap schoolgirls and leads ISIL to enslave and rape women is the same ideology that leads to instability, violence, and terrorism."</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0.75em;">
This approach was reflected in various Obama administration programs, strategic documents, and policy initiatives, including the 2010 legislatively mandated <a href="http://nssarchive.us/NSSR/2010.pdf" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0b82a4; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.1s linear;" target="_blank">National Security Strategy</a>, the <a href="https://fas.org/irp/offdocs/ppd/global-dev.pdf" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0b82a4; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.1s linear;" target="_blank">Presidential Policy Directive on Global Development</a>, and a <a href="https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2013/01/30/presidential-memorandum-coordination-policies-and-programs-promote-gende" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0b82a4; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.1s linear;" target="_blank">Presidential Memorandum</a> which positioned gender equality and the advancement of women and girls as "vital to achieving our overall foreign policy objectives."</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0.75em;">
The <a href="https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/administration/eop/cwg" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0b82a4; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.1s linear;" target="_blank">White House Council on Women and Girls</a>, along with other federal agencies, was instrumental in ensuring that gender issues were mainstreamed throughout the policy-making process across the federal government. Institutionalizing and integrating these women-focused efforts as part of the national security structure during the administration were key to elevating these issues beyond what has traditionally been considered "soft" or "special interest" projects, and ensuring effective interagency coordination and implementation of these efforts to advance women and girls’ issues globally.</div>
<blockquote style="border-left: 3px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #093852; font-size: 1.3125em; font-style: italic; line-height: 1.2; margin: 1em auto; max-width: 80%; padding-left: 0.75em;">

</blockquote>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0.75em;">
In addition to efforts to embed these programs and structures in the governmental DNA, gender equality initiatives were a <a href="https://www.c-span.org/video/?311934-1/hillary-clinton-women-world-summit" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0b82a4; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.1s linear;" target="_blank">clear priority</a> for U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who has long-championed these views; former U.S. Ambassador to the UN Samantha Power; First Lady Michelle Obama, who launched the "<a href="https://letgirlslearn.gov/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0b82a4; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.1s linear;" target="_blank">Let Girls Learn</a>" girls’ education program; and former Senior Advisor to the President and Chair of the White House Council on Women and Girls Valerie Jarrett. Moreover, countless administration officials across the government traveled and organized visits for U.S. officials to meet with women all over the world to discuss the challenges and opportunities they encountered in their own societies.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0.75em;">
While it may be tempting for some to categorize these programmatic and structural efforts as falling in the "nice to do" box because they were the "right thing to do" (which they were), they were part of a broader strategic approach to national security.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0.75em;">
Of course, the Obama administration was not the first to prioritize these issues, and none of the aforementioned efforts operating alone will suffice to realize a fully comprehensive and effective strategy to integrate international women’s issues into the national security infrastructure. Taken together, however, these efforts can establish a durable structural and policy foundation that can become part of the fabric of our development and diplomatic agenda.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0.75em;">
Seven months into the current administration, much remains unknown about whether global women’s issues will remain a high priority. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson stated in his confirmation hearing that "when you empower women, you change the future of the country because you change the cycle of that family…These are extraordinarily powerful programs and an important part of foreign aid." On the other hand, the Office of Global Women’s Issues currently is without a director or ambassador and the 2018 federal budget reportedly plans to eliminate funding for the office.</div>
<blockquote style="border-left: 3px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #093852; font-size: 1.3125em; font-style: italic; line-height: 1.2; margin: 1em auto; max-width: 80%; padding-left: 0.75em;">
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0.75em;">
Integrating women’s issues is not only a moral imperative, but an economic, political, and security one. What’s more, our collective global security demands it.</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0.75em;">
To be sure, the primacy of global women’s issues has been a challenge for many administrations and much work remains to be done to thwart the tendency to sideline these issues and position them on the outside of a strategic national security focus. Even when there are shared views and general agreement about an approach, the process may not be a smooth one. After all, it takes time for the implementation of programs and initiatives to take root, and the process is most often not a linear one through successive U.S. presidential administrations.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0.75em;">
Admittedly, it is too soon to draw any firm conclusions regarding the current administration’s views on the relationship between gender equity and national security. At this time, however, there remains an opportunity for the United States to lead on this issue along with our allies (e.g. Germany) who are making great gains in this area, and to complement the work that is being done in the multilateral, NGO, and private sector arenas.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0.75em;">
As has been noted for many years, integrating women’s issues is not only a moral imperative, but an economic, political, and security one. What’s more, our collective global security demands it.</div>

<i>My questions about my grandmother's death, of a self-induced abortion, haven’t changed since I was twelve years old. What feels new, in the Trump era, is the urgency of her story.</i><br />

As a child, I knew only that my grandmother had died when my mom was still a baby. The one time I asked what had happened to her, a bolt of panic flashed across my mother’s face. “A household accident,” was all she said. I was twelve years old when she finally told me the truth. Some friends and I had got into a long after-school discussion about abortion, prompted by the gruesome posters that a protester had staked in front of the Planned Parenthood in our Vermont town. I had already begun reading my mother’s Ms. magazines cover to cover, but this was the first time I’d encountered a pro-life position. When I hopped into my mom’s car after school, I was buzzing with new ideas. I had almost finished repeating one friend’s pro-life argument when I saw the look on Mom’s face. That’s when she told me: the “household accident” that had killed her mother had, in fact, been a self-induced abortion...<br />

A message from NWPC California president, Karen Humphrey</h1>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 150%; margin: 10px 0; padding: 0; text-align: left;">
<strong>Are you angry yet?</strong>
Do you agree we need to change a national politics that is toxic for
women and families at the national level, and not all that great even in
progressive California? Are you ready to get to work finding and
supporting great women for public office?<br />
<br />
<strong>Even in the face of great resistance,</strong> it’s
disheartening to see our national administration and Congress attack and
defund program after program critical to the health and welfare of all
Americans, especially women. An administration eager to cut off
mandatory health care for maternity and childbirth services shows that
being “pro-life” is a philosophy which ends at birth. The potential
defunding of Planned Parenthood is just the tip of the iceberg for a
Congress that is now awash in anti-choice politicians and a president
who once famously said women who get abortions should be “punished.”<br />
<br />
<strong>Almost as disheartening is the great state of California</strong>,
where women’s numbers in the legislature have fallen by 8 or 9 percent
since the mid-2000s, and where women-focused policies pushed by great
women leaders struggle for enactment or governor’s signature. If we had
at least a third of the legislature—instead of well under a quarter as
we do now--maybe the struggle to pass pro-woman bills and get them
signed would be a lot easier.<br />
<br />
As this is being written, we just learned the primary results in
Congressional District 34, which was vacated when Xavier Becerra became
California Attorney General. Of more than 20 candidates, women were
half, which is amazing. NWPC considered several of them eligible for
endorsement, and selected Wendy Carillo as most viable. <strong> Sadly, not a single woman made it into the runoff; both top vote-getters</strong>
were men, one of them a sitting Assemblymember who was expected to win.
A bright spot is a woman placed third, probably because she was
endorsed by the Los Angeles Times. In a low-turnout special election,
that showed newspaper endorsements can help, but aren’t enough to win.<br />
<br />
NWPC-CA’s Political Action Committee is going to consider what we need
to do going forward. Filling the electoral pipeline at ALL levels of
government with progressive, pro-choice women is a necessary component.
If you are not already active in your local caucus’ efforts to recruit
and support candidates for every elected office in your area, you need
to join those efforts and help ramp them up. </div>

<strong>Taking the bull by the patriarchy</strong>Early this
month, State Street Global Advisors, the world’s third-largest asset
manager, placed a statue of a young girl directly in front of the Wall
Street bull. Her powerful pose, with hands placed at her hips, sends a
clear message and I’m still hoarse from cheering. State Street’s
message was, relatively, lost in the wash though <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=http://www.wcfonline.org/r?u%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.businessinsider.com%252Fstage-street-global-advisors-girl-statue-in-front-of-wall-street-bull-2017-3%26e%3D8b7ed0b4f6dffdeb7051dc11f88940ab4e4582b9%26utm_source%3Dwomenandpolitics%26utm_medium%3Demail%26utm_campaign%3D0331_msrep%26n%3D2&source=gmail&ust=1491080840429000&usg=AFQjCNF_koYfB0iXHXJiSVVY_4Q2K6YjwA" href="http://www.wcfonline.org/r?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.businessinsider.com%2Fstage-street-global-advisors-girl-statue-in-front-of-wall-street-bull-2017-3&e=8b7ed0b4f6dffdeb7051dc11f88940ab4e4582b9&utm_source=womenandpolitics&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=0331_msrep&n=2" target="_blank">it

course, this wasn’t without furious debate, but still…there she sat.
