| Friends —
Across the country, momentum is building.
Women continue to step forward —some for the very first time, others already on the path to the ballot—and Emerge is helping make it possible.
Beyond Emerge's Signature Training and Boot Camps, which boast a more than 70% candidate win rate, we offer so much more. For many women who know they want to step into leadership but may not be ready to take the plunge into elected office, Emerge steps in to guide women on their path. In the past year alone, we've reached thousands of women nationwide and coached more than 600 women through our programs, partnerships, and national initiatives like Women Talk Politics Day.
From there, that interest turns into action. Through Emerge Rising, women are moving from civic engagement to leadership—serving on boards and commissions and beginning to chart a path toward running for office.
At the same time, we're building leadership before campaigns even begin. In Leaders Emerge, participants are defining their voice, values, and vision—laying the groundwork for the leaders they will become.
And for some, that path is already leading to the ballot. Through our Gavel In program, Emerge is training women to run for judicial seats—125 of whom are now sitting on benches across the country.
This work is also intentionally expanding access. We trained in Mississippi and North Carolina through nonpartisan programs, hundreds of women through Divine Nine partnerships, and women nationwide across the State of the People Power Tour—reaching communities that have too often been left out of the political process.
This is what building power actually looks like—step by step, program by program, woman by woman.
And we're just getting started.
In 2026, Emerge will expand this work further—training more women, launching new programs such as our School Board initiative, and continuing to invest in the New American Majority across the country.
If we're going to meet this moment, we need to scale this work.
Will you contribute today to help us train the next generation of women leaders?
Because leadership doesn't start on Election Day, it starts right now—with women deciding to step forward.
