Harnessing the power of small donors was great masterclass here on day 2 of Political Tech Summit. Loads to bring back to women preparing for 2029 Local Elections #WomenInPolitics

Really interesting talk at Political Tech Summit on the role of journalism in securing facts, as against fake news , or unchecked AI generated content.

What does this mean for SHE women?

Develop strong relationships with your local journalists.

What on earth is a husting?!

Hus = House
Things = assembly

They became 'husting' (Old English) - a 'deliberative assembly'

You can organise one - assemble political candidates & ask them what they stand for!

How do confidence, resilience & the right support turn barriers into breakthroughs?

Meet Lesley Scott-Boutell, Colchester’s first deaf Mayor.

It’s impossible not to be inspired by Lesley’s story - only discovering she was deaf at 21 while applying to join the Navy!
