Vote Run Lead Action Hosts National Summit Empowering Women to Run for Office in Detroit

Published November 14, 2023

Detroit welcomes a significant gathering aimed at changing the face of American politics. From November 16-19, 2023, Vote Run Lead Action, the nation's premier nonprofit organization specializing in training women for political roles, is hosting its influential RUN/51 Summit. Women from across the country are converging on Michigan to gain valuable insights and skills on launching successful electoral campaigns. The initiative represents an empowering movement to increase female representation in political office, underlined by the vision that women should lead at least 51% of government positions.

Empowering Women Leaders

The RUN/51 Summit is more than an event; it is a catalyst for change. By offering training, knowledge-sharing sessions, and networking opportunities, Vote Run Lead Action is equipping women with the necessary resources to confidently step into the political arena. The emphasis on hands-on workshops ensures that participants leave not just inspired but also practically prepared to kickstart their political journeys.

Fostering a Supportive Political Ecosystem

Vote Run Lead Action's commitment extends beyond the summit itself—it is building a supportive ecosystem for women candidates. This involves nurturing mentorships, advocating for policy changes that favor gender equity in politics, and creating platforms for the voices of aspiring female leaders. The organization envisions a future where women's representation in political office is no longer the exception but the norm.
