95 in 35 works to support & empower Connecticut women to run for office, lead campaigns, and transform our state’s political landscape. We are building a powerful network of pro-equality, pro-choice women to create gender equity in the legislature by 2035.
105 years ago today: women won the vote…but not all women. Women of color were shut out for decades. The suffragists’ fight reminds us of a hard truth: progress is never handed over, it’s won.
Now? Our rights are under attack again.
We fought before. We’ll fight again. ✊🏾
