Here we are --
This image says so much about this election, the women on whose shoulders we stand today and tomorrow, the woman who will become the President of the United States, and the future women who will carry on. It's parts of this image, sprinkled with those of our mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and cousins, teachers and mentors and friends that we'll carry into the polls with us on Tuesday. And the women who are running for office this year, also hold the work of these women with much inspiration.
To find out more about the creation of this image and the women depicted (can you name them before you look?!) use this link:

Now there's only one thing left to do. THIS IS IT!
Let's work to find just a few more votes for our endorsed candidates. Just an hour or two could help!
You've heard the folks talking about the difference a couple of votes per precinct makes. It adds up to a win!

This effort REALLY helps. It's amazing how often people come out of the polling place indicating they voted for our women!!
Just two votes per precinct can make a difference in the outcome!
Please contact Jillian Kinzie at [email protected], or Philippa Guthrie at [email protected]. We will make sure you are signed up.
If you see these women before, during or after Election Day, please thank them for running!!
We're proud of their dedication and hard work in these races!

Sophia Travis Community Service Grant Hearings
5:30 pm, Nat U Hill Meeting Room in the Courthouse
From Cheryl Munson, County Council President:
The day after the election, the Sophia Travis Community Services Grants will be voted on at the County Council meeting.
Last year we had many protesters re: Planned Parenthood's application, and I expect the same this year. There will be public comment at the meeting, with individuals limited to 3 minutes.
Think about showing up at this meeting. Think about contributing $10 to Planned Parenthood for every protester that speaks. You'd be in good company in doing so.
ACTION ITEM: SUPPORT OUR ENDORSED CANDIDATES
There is nothing more important today or tomorrow. See note above.
