“Men, their rights, and nothing more; women, their rights, and nothing less.” 

- Susan B. Anthony

 

Hello,

Today we celebrate the birthday and legacy of women’s rights activist and suffragette movement leader Susan B. Anthony. Susan lived a full life advocating for the civil rights of women and pushing for the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment.

Her work started in her home state of New York. Her fight was not easy, but after six decades of alliance-building, writing, speaking, and petitioning, Susan helped secure women’s right to vote in 1920 and was able to share it with a sisterhood that spanned the nation.

Her story shows that even when we are most discouraged by the current political climate, our actions and our organization for political and social change have importance and impact. We must support women candidates, now more than ever, to bring equal representation to our city, state and national lawmaking bodies.

I have seen the impact of women organizing for women throughout the counties in my district, and their work cannot be overstated. The women of the Northwest Iowa Progressive Collective used grassroots organizing to help turn out the vote for the 2017 Spencer City Council race, in which I was a candidate. I was the first woman elected to the city council in over two decades. When women organize, women get things done. 

Sign up here to organize and volunteer. Let’s work together to defeat Steve King in 2018!

Let’s continue building a strong network and coalition across our districts to effect real change for the 2018 campaign against Steve King. We’ve been doing this for decades, and we can do it again at this year’s midterms.

Commit to volunteer with my campaign today!

Thank you for all that you do,

Leann
