Media

We believe research should spark both conversation & action.

Our Media page brings together all the ways our work is shaping public dialogue on women's political representation, from Weekend Reading blogs and webinars to news coverage, op-eds, videos, and podcasts. These resources highlight why systems reforms like ranked choice voting, proportional representation, and institutional supports matter, and how they create opportunities for more women to run, win, serve, and lead.

Explore below to see how our research and partnerships are helping change the story of democracy in the United States and beyond.
