It’s been said many times since the election: there’s no one coming to save us. We are the calvary. If we’ve learned anything, it’s that the constitution is not unassailable, and American democracy has been held together with spit, shame and so-called norms. Those of us paying attention (which, if you’re reading this, you are) are increasingly appalled and even terrified at what we are watching unfold from abroad. Many are struggling to balance equanimity with staying alert and informed.
The midterm elections will be here before we know it, so now is the time to organize, build community, expand our outreach and create the foundations for GOTV (Get Out The Vote) in 2026. We need your help to ensure we’re ready to take on the formidable challenges we face.
No amount of volunteer time or effort is too small in this critical fight. We are a global organization, with membership on every continent and in almost every country. The GWC wants to recruit all women and allies - the only criteria is that you care about the health and welfare of all humans. Women know how to organize, and we care deeply for one another, children, animals and the planet. And if given the space, we will talk, about all of it - incessantly, while lifting each other up AND coming up with actionable solutions.
When we unite in a common goal, women are unstoppable.
If you want to help us meet this unprecedented moment - join our team, wherever you are in the world. We will plug your skills/interest/time into our plans in a way that works for you.. The world needs strong, activated women now more than ever. Join us.
