2022 has:

Outraged us

Connected us

Challenged us

EMILY’s List elects the women who fight back–for abortion access, for voting rights, for our democracy.

At EMILY’s List, we elect the women who

Run.

Win.

Change the world.

Changing the world takes all of us.

The Democratic pro-choice women we elect lead the way on abortion rights, voting rights, and standing up against the extremist Republican agenda.

We recruit, train, fund, and support candidates.

We focus on key states and races to build political power for women.

Abortion rights are workers rights, plain and simple. And as a labor leader, I'm proud to partner with EMILY's List in doing the vital work to ensure that our elected officials are focused on protecting all of our rights. From organizing to training to campaigns, EMILY's List does vital work.

EMILY’s List is expanding the relevance of electing Democratic pro-choice women and showing how much representation matters—in city halls, state houses, in Congress, and in the White House. That’s why I’m proud to be a member of the EMILY’s List Creative Council and Board of Directors.

Yvette Nicole BrownEmmy-nominated actress and host and EMILY’s List board member

I was running for the Senate for the first time…. At that point, there had never been a woman elected to the Senate from my home state. And there had never been a Latina elected to the United States Senate. But thanks to the support from EMILY’s List and so many of our allies back home, we changed that.

The EMILY's List fellowship has given me experience and training to take my passion for public policy into running for office. I know I can make a real difference in people's lives and change the world for the better as an elected official.

To take back our power, we need to change who is in power.
