The 2024 election is a pivotal moment for Democratic women everywhere.

In one of their latest campaign ads, the Biden campaign articulated their pro-choice stance, emphasizing the importance of protecting women’s autonomy over their bodies. This bold reaffirmation underscores the importance of women’s issues not only in this cycle, but for future generations.

Now, more than ever, it’s crucial to stand united in supporting women’s efforts in progressive campaigns across the country.

In celebration of Women’s History Month, NDTC is elevating some of these essential perspectives in our upcoming Expert Q&A: Women Working to Win on Thursday, March 21 at 1pm ET.

Whether women run for office or work in mobilizing spaces, their involvement ensures that the voices of women are heard and respected.

Which is why we’ve invited panelists from a diverse array of progressive organizations and causes

This interactive panel program will feature three Democratic strategists – April Fournier (Program Lead, Training & Alumni, Advance Native Political Leadership), Ana Ramon (Executive Director, Annie’s List), and Liz Walters (Chairwoman, Ohio Democratic Party) – to discuss various aspects of organizing women, but also prioritizing women’s policy priorities.
