Finding progressive women to run in district seats formerly held by men is just half the battle to achieve gender equality. Our recruiters also need to backfill seats when sitting women Legislators retire or term out, to avoid backsliding on the progress we’ve made.
Will you take the next step and donate to Close the Gap California and help us achieve gender equity in the California legislature?
Close the Gap California is a statewide campaign to close the gender gap in the California Legislature by recruiting progressive women and preparing them to launch competitive campaigns in targeted districts.
We recruit accomplished women committed to reproductive justice, public school funding, and combatting poverty. Close the Gap aims to achieve gender balance — 50% women — serving in the California Legislature by 2028.
