As the snow flurries fall, we continue to march. We march for equality. We march for equal pay. We march for each other. Look at the world around you. Change is happening, but we’re still far from meeting our goals. Spend your holiday break getting actively involved in your community.

POWERFUL WOMEN LEADERS
Florida Representative Gwen Graham
“I am not a career politician. I am a mother, former PTA president and public school official who also had the honor of serving in Congress. As governor, I am going to think of the students I have met, the parents I have volunteered with and teachers I have worked alongside. I am running to work for them.”
Help make Congress 50% women by 2050.
