Please join us for an
exciting webinar on
Tuesday, December 6th
1:00 - 2:00 pm EST
Women make up more than half the population yet
hold only 17% of the U.S. Congressional seats, less
than a quarter of state legislative seats and only
six governorships. Of those, women of color
constitute only 4.5% of the total members of Congress
and 4.7% of state legislators. This
under-representation has a profound impact on policymaking.
The
2012 Project, a national, non-partisan campaign to
increase the number of women in Congress and state
legislatures by leveraging the once-in-a-decade
opportunities of 2012, aims to change this. In collaboration
with
The Association for Women in Communications and
Professional Women of Color Network, The 2012
Project will explain why it is essential for women to throw
their hats in the ring in 2012. This webinar will highlight
the experiences and insights of two 2012 Project faculty
members who will share what it takes to be a candidate,
the difference women make in government, and why it is
important for more women (like you!) to run.
Join us on Tuesday, December 6, 2011 from 1:00 - 2:00
pm ET for this thought-provoking, empowering, and
resource-filled presentation. This is a must-attend webinar
for anyone interested in ensuring that women are at the
table at every level of government.
Please forward this invitation to other women who should
consider running!
