Friends,
Last weekend, Emerge President & CEO A'shanti Gholar was in South Carolina for Democratic Weekend, joining leaders, activists, and supporters at the Blue Palmetto Dinner, Congressman Jim Clyburn's World Famous Fish Fry, and the South Carolina Democratic Party Convention.
We also hosted an Emerge happy hour, bringing together alums, supporters, and Democrats from across the state. The energy was undeniable.
And that's important, because South Carolina reminds us why Emerge's work matters.
Just weeks ago, a redistricting battle threatened fair representation in the state. Had things gone differently, Congressman Jim Clyburn's seat could have been among those impacted. At the same time, more than 156,000 South Carolinians have already cast ballots in this year's primaries. Nearly 70% of those voters are Democrats — levels of engagement the state hasn't seen in decades.
People are paying attention. They're ready for change.
And Emerge women are stepping up to lead it.
We recently graduated another outstanding class of Emerge South Carolina women, and many of them are already on the ballot, running to serve their communities and fight for a stronger future.
That's why we remain committed to every one of our Emerge states. We're not retreating from difficult places. We're not giving up on communities that have been overlooked. And we're certainly not giving up on the South.
Because when women run, communities win. And when Democratic women have the training, support, and network they need, they can compete — and win — anywhere.
Will you help us continue building the bench in South Carolina and across the country with a contribution today? |

The future of our democracy depends on leaders who reflect the communities they serve. Thanks to supporters like you, Emerge is helping make that future possible.
Thank you,
Ashley - Proud S. Carolinian
P.S. The excitement we're seeing in South Carolina isn't happening by accident. It's the result of years of organizing, training, and investing in women leaders. Your support helps ensure we're there for the next generation of candidates — in South Carolina and every Emerge state. |
