Welcome to Supermajority! Join Us
On behalf of the whole team, I’m delighted to welcome you as a founding member of this community.
I’ve been an organizer all my life. After graduating college, I moved to New Orleans to organize with hotel workers who were fighting for safer working conditions and a living wage. More recently, I had the honor of leading Planned Parenthood and advocating for reproductive justice. In more than 30 years of organizing, the world has changed a lot. But one thing has held true — women are always on the front lines of fighting for what’s right.
What’s different this time around is just how many women there are: the teachers in Arizona, Oklahoma, California, and West Virginia who went on strike for public education. Teenage girls who are leading the fight against climate change. Women everywhere speaking out against sexual assault and harassment. And of course the millions of women (and our allies) marching all across the country for issues like reproductive rights and equal pay.
One of my comrades in this effort, Ai-jen Poo, says it best: “Women have always been forces for change in this country, but we’ve never run the country.”
There’s no time like the present, Jean.
That’s what Supermajority is all about — women coming together across issues and identities to fight for our shared values and demand what we need from those in power.
Can you invite five women you know to become founding members of Supermajority with you? Just share this link with them.
Much more to come — but we’re thrilled to have you as part of the team.
In solidarity,
Cecile Richards
Supermajority co-founder
