From Red Wine & Blue: Women Are Winning (Really!): The Story the Media is Missing

The headlines are discouraging:

“Why so few women are in political leadership”
“Experts warn women’s progress in politics is slowing”

But did you know that there are 37% more women in state legislatures now than in 2018? And that the total number of women of color in state legislatures has nearly doubled?

It makes sense – a Harvard study showed that every time a woman wins an election, the number of women candidates in the next election increases 8.5%! In other words, when women win, more women run – and even MORE women WIN.

Women are defying conventional wisdom and we all need to know the facts. That’s why Red Wine & Blue is hosting two very special events in the next few days.

Join us this Thursday, July 17, at 7:30PM ET for Women Are Winning (Really!): The Story the Media is Missing. We’ll talk about why there is a perception that women aren’t making gains in elections, and how the media and political bias play into it. And we’ll discuss how you can fight these outdated assumptions, support women candidates, and help reshape our democracy.
