We will not go back!
Christian nationalists: “We need to take women’s right to vote away in America and they shouldn’t be in any positions of leadership.” Women in America: “Hold my coffee.”

Women will lead more states as governors and represent more congressional districts than at any time in American history come January. For the first time, over 100 Democratic women will serve in the U.S. House, according to AP. wapo.st/4BKJOJ3

Women power democracy! 💪🏾💪🏽💪🏼
Women Soul of the Nation Georgia voters elected eight Black women to help lead our state. Their work will touch our lives every day, from how we educate our children and protect voting rights to what families pay to keep the lights on. I’m celebrating these women and the people who organized, registered voters and showed up to make these victories possible. Congratulations to Georgia’s newly elected leaders: Keisha Lance Bottoms, governor Tanya Miller, attorney general Penny Brown Reynolds, secretary of state Katherine E. Juhan-Arnold, commissioner of agriculture Nikki Porcher, commissioner of labor Lydia Powell, state school superintendent Keisha Sean Waites, insurance commissioner Shelia Edwards, Public Service Commission, District 5 I pray that you use the power entrusted to you to protect people’s rights, make their lives better and serve every Georgian with dignity and care. #WomenSoulOfTheNation #GeorgiaHistory #BlackWomenLead #PublicService

I wish my mother could have seen Georgia last night. When she called on women to become the soul of the nation, she was asking us to help shape what this country stands for and how it treats its people. She spent her life putting those words into action. I thought of her as Keisha Lance Bottoms became the first Black woman elected governor of a U.S. state. I thought, too, of the Black women who went door to door, registered voters and organized for years. Many did not live to see what they helped make possible. Congratulations, Governor-elect Bottoms. Congratulations also to Penny Brown Reynolds, Georgia’s next secretary of state, and Tanya Miller, our next attorney general. I’m thinking of the Black girls who will grow up seeing women who look like them lead Georgia. I pray they see what my mother saw in leadership: the power to make life better for others and the responsibility to use it. #CorettaScottKing #KeishaLanceBottoms #PennyBrownReynolds #TanyaMiller #GeorgiaHistory

Love this!

A ride shouldn't stand between someone and their polling place. That's why Lyft is offering up to $25 off a ride with code LWV26 on Election Day, Nov. 3! Preload the code in the Lyft app and use it on a ride to your polling place until 11:59 pm local time.

If you still have an absentee ballot, make sure to return it before 8 pm tomorrow night so it can be counted. Drop boxes are the quickest way, there is at least one in every Connecticut municipality.
