Save the date! Thursday October 29, at 8 pm eastern time — celebrate your right to vote with a brilliant performance by Ari Afsar and Lauren Gunderson from their new “Jeannette: the Musical.”

In 2020 as we mark the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment to the U.S. Constitution, voter suppression efforts aim to deter us. But we are determined to use the power of our voices and votes, and Take The Lead’s mission of gender parity in leadership is more important than ever. You’ll hear the beautiful just released anthem “We Won’t Sleep.” And we want to know your voting stories!

If you have already voted, we’ll celebrate you. If you haven’t, we’ll inspire you to cast your vote that so many women fought and even died for. And we’ll call you to action to make sure every eligible woman voter does the same by sharing this graphic and tagging 10 women to remind them to vote.
