Women Helping Women Win
In 2010
JULY 21, 2010 ATLANTA-- On July 21, 2010 The White House Project is launching its “Women Helping Women Win 2010” campaign in Georgia. The goal is to engage The White House Project’s constituents and Georgia women in leading a political life and supporting each other’s leadership. 2010 is shaping up to be the Year of The Woman in Georgia politics, with 10 women in major races ranging from the executive branch to the county commissions, and we want to make sure women are a force in this election.
The White House Project will host a series of Go Lead political trainings in August and September to give women the skills needed to mount successful campaigns whether they are running themselves or women looking to be involved in campaigns behind the scenes. In addition to the trainings the White House Project will partner with organizations like C.A.R.E. to host issue forums to help women and men better understand the hot button political issues that are defining this year’s election cycle.
Women Helping Women Win 2010 will engage The White House Project constituents and our allies in the local Get Out The Vote (GOTV) efforts through training and partnerships with local organizations. Highlights include: a “Stroll to the Polls” spearheaded by The White House Project, and events/outreach that will connect women ready to work on campaigns with candidates in need of campaign volunteers.
