Research & Communications Internships- Fall 2018
Description:
RepresentWomen is a nonprofit organization working to change the system to provide women equal access to both appointed and elected office. We advocate for institutional reforms rather than focusing on individual races, because all women should be able to access politics at an equal rate to their male counterparts. We believe that a strong democracy requires equal representation for women across political, racial, socioeconomic, and geographic lines. Through research and advocacy, we are paving the way for women in American politics-- not just for some women today, but for all women for good.
