She has also been a champion for civil rights issues. Before running for Senate, Elizabeth was a law professor for over 30 years, specializing specifically in bankruptcy law. In 2019, she launched her bid for President of the United States, where, before dropping out, she was part of the largest number of women to seek candidacy for president. #HerStory

EMILY’s List is one of the earliest and largest

EMILY’s List is one of the earliest and largest national organizations to commit to electing pro-choice, Democratic women into political office. Founded in 1985 by a group of 25 women, EMILY’s List began as a fundraising group but has since expanded to actively recruit candidates and mobilize voters. They’ve now helped elect 26 U.S. Senators, 16 Governors, over 100 U.S. Representatives, and even more local and state officers. #HerStory

Yvonne Brathwaite Burke became one of only 47 Blac

Yvonne Brathwaite Burke became one of only 47 Black women ever elected to Congress in 1973, representing California in the house for three consecutive terms. During her tenure in office, she was prominent in both the Congressional Black Caucus and Congressional Women’s Caucus, working to protect minority-owned businesses and support displaced women workers. She fought hard against the Nixon administration’s attempts to destroy some of the innovations created under the Great Society program, including the Office of Economic Opportunity. After her experience as the first Member of Congress to give birth and be granted maternity leave, Burke also fought to protect pregnant women from discrimination in the workplace. Her service was characterized by quiet determination and avoidance of conflict; she preferred to avoid the grandstanding of Congressional debate and instead work behind the scenes to do what needed to be done. #HerStory

Stacey Abrams was the first Black woman to be nomi

Stacey Abrams was the first Black woman to be nominated for governor by one of the two major parties, as late as 2018. A Yale-educated lawyer, a seasoned voting rights activists, and a long-time member of both state and federal legislative bodies, Abrams was more than qualified for the position. Many suspected that her loss to the incumbent candidate was a result of fraud and voter suppression. In response, Abrams launched Fair Fight Action, an organization devoted to ensuring free and fair elections throughout the US, of which she is currently CEO. Her transition into nonprofit leadership does not mean she has left politics entirely, however; she is currently a major contender for the Vice Presidential nomination. #HerStory
